"Last Words" Lyrics

Here goes the story of a kid we thought we knew (We thought we knew)
He hid a hate inside and had a state of mind
That put him in his grave
It began with his friends
They never noticed the despair in his eyes
(From the pressure)
His life was etched in stone
Before he made a choice of his own

And he's dedicated
For everyday that made it on his own
In his father's eyes he's a pair of dice
He won't be number one
He won't be number one

So he tries to comply
With everything they've ever asked
And his life is stitched with one-way tickets
To places he don't want to visit
He says: "I'm never gonna be perfect,
Maybe I don't deserve this but,
I'm doing the best I can,
I've never dealt with such pressure
Feels like my whole life's etched in stone
Before I've made a choice of my own."

And he's dedicated
(For everyday) that made it on his own
In his father's eyes he's a pair of dice
He won't be number one
(He won't be number one)

So save your breath cause you'll
need it when you hang from a rope
Cause of death:
Obvious from your suicide note.
The last words that filled the page:
"If no one will listen then no one
Will miss me when I'm gone"
Across town his dad falls asleep all alone
Never knowing he was never going to come home
The last thoughts that filled his head
"I'll tell him I'm sorry I'll
say I regret what I did.
Its your life,
I'll live my own life instead."

And he's dedicated
(For everyday) that made it on his own
In his father's eyes he's a pair of dice
He won't be number one

His bedroom's filled with emptiness tonight
As the silence cuts through like a knife
Knowing he's not there.

And he was dedicated
For everyday that made it on his own
In his father's eyes he's a pair of dice
He won't be number one
"I'm never gonna be perfect,
Maybe I don't deserve this but..."

And the story goes on and on an no one seems to care
We'll let him know we care
(We care)
