My life is a spiral of debt and despair The pressure upon me is too much to bear So I sit in my bedsit surrounded by bills In one hand a bottle, the other, some pills And I think to myself, has it really come to "this"? I cant live with the shame of the things that occured It was not meant to happen, I give you my word Now I stand on the cliff and look down at the sea And it feels like the only way out for me And I think to myself, how did it ever come to "this"? I once had a job and life was so sweet Then it all went wrong and now I live on the street I've fallen so far that I beg with a cup My life is worth nothing, nothing to give up And I think to myself, how can I carry on like "this"? Think not of the why or the hows or the pain There are people to help you start over again There are friends out there that you've yet to meet Who's purpose in life to give you new feet To stand on your own and start over again just so that you know "this" is not how it ends

"This"
My life is a spiral of debt and despair The pressure upon me is too much to bear So I sit in my bedsit surrounded by bills In one hand a bottle, the other, some pills And I think to myself, has it really come to "this"? I cant live with the shame of the things that occured It was not meant to happen, I give you my word Now I stand on the cliff and look down at the sea And it feels like the only way out for me And I think to myself, how did it ever come to "this"? I once had a job and life was so sweet Then it all went wrong and now I live on the street I've fallen so far that I beg with a cup My life is worth nothing, nothing to give up And I think to myself, how can I carry on like "this"? Think not of the why or the hows or the pain There are people to help you start over again There are friends out there that you've yet to meet Who's purpose in life to give you new feet To stand on your own and start over again just so that you know "this" is not how it ends
