I swear I've done this before

Oh so familiar is the mess that I'm in

I once knew

Now memories escape and people meet their fate

This says the man walking out on his wife

And now the whole world knows

This says the kid with the rope around his neck

And now they all will know

And can't you see that there's still hope

And don't you drown in what the world has told you

Now I know that I've been here before

It's the feel of defeat when it finally sinks in

I feel so desperate

The barrier is so thick

Can I get through to you

Will I learn from this second chance

Says the man who was dropping his pants

Do I really deserve to live

Says that kid who was slitting his wrists

And can't you see that there's still hope

And don't you drown in what the world has told you

I once saw

But now I am exhausted from this mess from this mess
