Help me get through tonight
Help me get through tonight
Can anybody hear me?
I can’t keep putting up a fight
No one is ever coming
not even to help a little bit
Just help me someone
I just can’t fucking handle it
I’m so fucking done
with the fucking bullshit
All these months and days go by
where I blame myself for all that went wrong
and now I can’t stop what’s about to come
She thought I was the one
The last girl I dated
for 3 years and a half
I thought we were fated
to be each other’s other half
I loved her so much
and she loved me too
but I was way too stupid
to take a fucking clue
Couldn’t stop myself
Couldn’t even handle a date
I fucked it all up
and now, it’s too late
She’s gone for forever
not looking back at me
And I’m left with a sliver
of what i used to be
Sometimes, I wish that I could
just turn back time, reverse my fate
And then maybe I would
just make my whole damn life great
but that ain’t fucking happening
I know that’s bullshit
I’m tired of myself
and that’s not fucking it
I sick of living like nothing ever happened
sick of living like I can write rap and
make a living without thinking of you
but i can’t, can’t stop thinking of you
I would have given my life
but I fucked that chance up
wish I could end all this strife
But this love it needs far more than a touch-up
I can’t stop this cycle of terrible pain
It hurts so fucking bad God I must be insane
to think i might be saved
that my love for you
will finally fucking fade
But whatever I do
I’m just getting repaid
For all the shit I dealt to you
all the pain that I caused,
I want to get run-through and through
put my life on pause
and end it forever now
I m tired of trying
and dealing with this
now I’m fucking flying
into the abyss
You put me in charge
here comes a sparge
a literal baptism by fire for the fucking sarge
I couldn’t handle a wife
I couldn’t handle this strife
What the fuck makes you think I could handle my own God-damn life?
Guess it doesn’t matter now
Heavy sweat upon my brow
as I leave this fucking life with one last fucking bow.
No one else needs to
get hurt by me
I’m saying goodbye to the world
as I hang myself with this lea (on this tree?)
