Save a Life - Tom MacDonald

You sittin' in the dark
Got the chills
Swear to God that this time you'll take every single pill
Your so tired of the world and the way it makes you feel
That you'd rather disappear
Then live long enough to be killed
By the broken hearts and extra shifts to pay for rent and bills
This is not the way you pictured it to tired to rebuild
You hope they understand that you ain't hurtin' anymore
And you'd never take a life that isn't yours
You no longer talk to your Dad
Friends have put knives in your back
Screwed up then you relapsed
No money saved in the bank
I understand why you want to leave early
But you ain't gotta' be in a hurry
No No

Stand your ground
We all go through hell
You can't leave now
We still need your help

When you don't want to stay
You want to say good-bye
Remember the hardest day
Can have the greatest night
When you don't have the strength to survive
All you gotta do is stay to save a life

You sittin' on the floor
Clenching fists, got a razor blade
You swear to God that you goin' to cut your wrist
You so tired of the ways
That the world makes you feel like sh_t
You'd rather disappear today
Then still continue to exist
All the lonely days the same mistakes
The old toxic relationships
You overweight, your soul in pain
You just can't take the weight of it
You hope they understand that you ain't hurtin' anymore
And you'd never take a life that isn't yours
You lost someone that you love
You got fired from your job
You failed and you screwed it up
Got cheated on, did some drugs
I understand why you want to leave early
But you ain't gotta' be in a hurry
No No

Stand your ground
We all go through hell
You can't leave now
We still need your help

When you don't want to stay
You want to say good-bye
Remember the hardest day
Can have the greatest night
When you don't have the strength to survive
All you gotta do is stay to save a life

You can scream at the top of your lungs
You can stay up all night
With you friends getting drunk
Play your music real loud
Start a fight and throw a punch
But you just can't go
You can yell at the sky
You can curse, you can run
You can cry all night with your friends in the club
You could sleep all day
You can do something dumb
But you just can't go

When you don't want to stay
You want to say good-bye
Remember the hardest day
Can have the greatest night
When you don't have the strength to survive
All you gotta do is stay to save a life
