[Verse]

All I want is your understanding

As in the small act of affection

"Why is this my life?"

Is almost everybody's question

[Hook]

And I've tried

Everything but suicide

But it's crossed my mind

[Verse]

I prefer peace

Wouldn't have to have one worldly possession

But essentially I'm an animal

So just what do I do with all the aggression?

[Hook]

Well I've tried

Everything but suicide

But it's crossed my mind

[Verse]

Life is a one-way street, and if you could paint it

I'd draw myself going in the right direction

So I go all the way - like I really really know -

But the truth is I'm only guessin'

[Hook]

And I've tried

Everything but suicide

Ooh but it's crossed my mind

Just a thought

[Verse]

It's even dark in the daytime

It's not just good - it's +great depression+

When I was lost I even found myself

Looking in the gun's direction

[Hook]

And so I've tried

Everything but suicide

But yes - it's crossed my mind

But I'm fine
