Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I never had a dream that I could follow through
Only tears left to stain
Dry my eyes once again
I don't know who I am or what I'm gonna do
Been so long, I've been hopelessly confused
[Verse 2]
This can never really end
It's infinitely sad
Can someone tell me when
Something good became so bad?
So if you have a cure
To me, would you please send
A picture of my life
With a letter tellin' how
It should really be instead
[Verse 3]
The precipice is there
But will I ever dare?
Throw myself in the sky
So at last, I can die
See, I've become a man who
Holds nothing to do
Who will mind
If I just disappear?
[Verse 4]
This can never really end
It's infinitely sad
Can someone tell me when
Something good became so bad?
So if you have a cure
To me, would you please send
A picture of my life
With a letter tellin' how
It should really be instead
[Verse 5]
Oh, tell me how it really should be
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, tell me
