I've never been one to take things for granted
But now I know what it means when they say...(never know what you got till it's gone)
And it's almost gone
But I'm hanging on
And they're slipping
Well I said "No!"
But I know it didn't help
Yeah I got it all back
And my screaming didn't help
I don't know why
And I don't care how
It's all part of life
A part of life that I can't accept
If things were screwed up then
Then things are f**ed up now
Yeah yeah it's not helping
It's not helping me a damn bit
And I don't know what kind of sick trick this is
But if it means to die, I won't let them die
I don't want a family photo
And I don't want to be the featurette
I don't want everyone else's faces blurred
And mine as clear as the sky
Yeah this is the first time I've cried
Cause I've got a new family photo
And it ain't pretty
Cause the corners are cutting
The corners are cutting into their faces
The corners are cutting into my fingers
No one ever said you couldn't burn a photo
Well no one's gonna stop me
Cause I swear this is the last straw
And I can't take it anymore
I don't know why he wants this life for me
I've put up with it for a while
But the trigger says it doesn't have to be this way anymore
The angel says they'll be back in no harm
And the trigger says.....f** it
And I said f** it
And they tried to stop me
But they don't know what it's like for me
And no one's gonna stop me
I got the lighter
No one ever said you couldn't burn a photo
No one ever stopped me
No one ever said it was a crime to pull the trigger...on your own face
No one ever stopped me
I don't care anymore
I don't care anymore
That was my last drink
That was my last straw
And...no one misses me
Oh I wish someone was missing me
I wish that I could overhear someone say my name
The past tense is overwhelming
But I can deal
I know I'm gone
Still...I wish there was someone I could have told
That it would be alright
Even when it wouldn't
But lying here beneath you all
I'll always have plenty of time to dream
And I'm getting back those sleepless nights
That I needed so much
But always know
I'm always listening
For just one mention
Of my name
Of my obiturary
