Living on the edge for so long always sought the thrill. That only kills the pain for a little while. Life of the party, playboy, big man tough as nails, you know. Hurt inside, a scared and lonely child. I see my path so clearly now, the journey's darkest end. But you can't erase a permanent mistake. Won't somebody help before I throw away this life? A life that isn't mine alone to take. I laughed, I cursed, I spit when I left. Damned'em all to Hell. Now I'm the one who hasn't far to go. Why in Hell can't I tell my fam'ly how very sorry I am? 'Caus I'd rather die than tell them so. I see my path so clearly now, the journey's darkest end. But you can't erase a permanent mistake. Someone up there help before I throw away this life. A life that isn't mine alone to take. Whoa, yea! I see my path so clearly now, the journey's darkest end. You can't erase a permanent mistake. God in Heaven, help before I throw away this life. A life that isn't mine alone to take.
