Well I ain't living clean it's my addictions and me
I've been down now for eighteen weeks
Tired of this life and these same old streets
Tired of working for the goddamned machine
And day after day everything is the same
I learned to play but that was my mistake
Getting up so high my thoughts getting crazy
Oh now won't you reach up and save me
That's no way to die living on the edge of life
When will I ever when will I ever
When will I ever learn
That's no way to live leave me nothing left to give
When will I ever when will I ever
When will I ever learn
Said I'm not okay I'm wasting away
Nine to five now my body's in pain
Been living a lie, I ain't ready to die
Don't wanna do this for the rest of my days
Getting up so high my thoughts getting crazy
Oh now won't you reach up and save me
That's no way to die living on the edge of life
When will I ever when will I ever
When will I ever learn
That's no way to live leave me nothing left to give
When will I ever when will I ever
When will I ever learn
And here I am
I see a gun and it's pointed at me (loaded, loaded)
And I'm all broke down to my knees (broken, broken)
Won't you reach up and save me
From this road that I've taken
I need to escape this
And the life that I'm breaking
