Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I tried it once before, but I didn't get too far
I felt a lot of pain, but it didn't stop my heart
And all I really wanted was someone to give a little fuck
But I waited there forever and nobody even looked up
[Verse 2]
I tried it once before and I think I might've messed up
I struggled with the veins and I guess I didn't bleed enough
But maybe I'm alive 'cause I didn't really wanna die
But nothin' very special ever happens in my life
[Chorus]
Take the blade away from me
I am a freak, I am afraid that
All the blood escapin' me won't end the pain
And I'll be hauntin' all the lives that cared for me
I died to be the white ghost of the man that I was meant to be
[Verse 3]
I tried it like before, and this time, I made a deep cut
I thought about my friends and the way I didn't give enough
And I should've told my mother, "Mom, I love you", like a good son
But this life is overwhelmin' and I'm ready for the next one
[Chorus]
Take the blade away from me
I am a freak, I am afraid that
All the blood escapin' me won't end the pain
And I'll be hauntin' all the lives that cared for me
I died to be the white ghost of the man that I was meant to be, yeah
[Verse 4]
I tried it once again, and I think I might black out
I should've left a letter, but I had nothin' to write about
My blood is all around me, I get dizzy if I stand up
The cutting part was easy, but regrettin' it is so fucked
[Chorus]
Yeah, take the blade away from me
I am a freak, I am afraid that
All the blood escapin' me won't end the pain
And I'll be hauntin' all the lives that cared for me
I died to be the white ghost of the man that I was meant to be
[Outro]
(I tried it once again and I think I went too far) The man that I was meant to be
(I cut a little deeper and the pressure stopped my heart) The man that I was meant to be
(I couldn't tell my mother that I love her, I'm a bad son) This life is overwhelmin' and I'm ready for the next one
