Lyrics
[Verse 1]
All I want is your understandin'
As in the small act of affection
"Why is this my life?"
Is almost everybody's question
[Verse 2]
And I've tried
Everything but suicide
But it's crossed my mind
[Verse 3]
I prefer peace
Wouldn't have to have one worldly possession
But essentially, I'm an animal
So just what do I do with all the aggression?
[Verse 4]
Well, I've tried
Everything but suicide
But it's crossed my mind
[Verse 5]
Life is a one-way street, ain't it
If you could paint it
I'll draw myself goin' in the right direction
So I'll go all the way, like I really, really know
But the truth is, I'm only guessin'
[Verse 6]
And I've tried
Everything but suicide
Oh, but it's crossed my mind
Just a thought
[Verse 7]
It's even dark in the daytime
It's not just good, it's great depression
When I was lost I even found myself
Lookin' in the gun's direction
[Verse 8]
And so I've tried
Everything but suicide
But yes, it's crossed my mind
[Verse 9]
But I'm fine
