I've got a girl, & she needs me like a hole in the head
& if she could, I know she'd trade me for the hole instead
Now I'm 25 & if I'm alive, I can't feel a thing inside
But I'm trying still with alcohol & pills
Til there's nothing left in me to kill
I read in a book that we all write our own destiny
But I've tried and I keep rewriting my history
Now the summer's done but it's still 101, just another thing I can't outrun
Like the year before, or whatever's left in store
I don't think I can take much more
Is it not enough to admit defeat?
Is it not enough to be on my knees?
I'd pray to god if that's all it took
I'd place my hands on that faded book
I know a girl who says she hates it when I get so down
So I'm up, & I'm headed back to my home town
I gotta go
