When she called I had a knife to my wrists,
feeling like life aint make sense,
see i just quit my job, sick of flipping burgers & living in my aunts garage,
so i just let it ring,
sittin' there drowning in a bottle of jim beam, thinking she was supposed to be my queen, feel like a bad dream,
and i just wanna wake up, walk in the house, caught some n**** digging it out, him & his spouse,
remember when we first confessed we loved one another, i was cool with her pops, she was tight with my mother,
as crazy as it sounds i think i still love her,
enough to take my own life, left me with nothing but a broken heart, suicidal thoughts, a 12 inch blade, real real sharp,
phone still ringing, so i picked up the call, let go of the knife let it drop to the floor,
d***

when i am sleeping, some days i don't even wanna wake up, wake up, wake up,
when i am sleeping i cannot keep the night(?)
When she called he had a knife to his wrists,
contemplating if life made sense,
see he just quit his job, sick of flipping burgers & living in a garage,
so he just let it ring, didn't even check the caller ID,
thought about his girlfriend cheating on him,
he caught her in the bed with another woman, and another man,
couldn't understand how you could crush a persons heart in the palm of your hands,
now he's depressed, even thinking suicidal, like how'd you go from a lover to a rival,
Bottle of yak, knife on his lap, death on his mind, matter of time before he just snaps,
but he answers the phone, its his mother on the other end pleading he that he needs to come home,
he puts the knife down at the sound of her voice, hesitant about making that choice,
wrong or right, that phone call might have saved his life,
he said to himself...

when i am sleeping, some days i don't even wanna wake up, wake up, wake up,

She coulda been his wife, he coulda been a husband, coulda had a family, wonder where the love went,
what caused her to be unfaithful, was it him? or the young stud that she met at the gym,
always catch her smile, knew how to pretend, never thought his life might come to an end.
she reflects on the days that they were best friends,
but this is now and that was then.
she awakes to the news he committed suicide, her heart drops & she begins to cry,
thinking of their first kiss back in junior high, didn't even get the chance to say goodbye,
but its because of her he's no longer alive,
worst part about it, he never knew why,
when everything he thought to be true was a lie,
died with a picture by his side, and a letter that read,
it said..

just another episode in an area code, another episode in an area code,
just another episode in an area code, an area code, just another episode,
Sometimes people get trapped in they mind, and they just wanna escape, but it feels like they're stuck
so we find ways to escape, some people even hurt themselves.
some hurt others
but it'll be better tomorrow
it'll all be better tomorrow
