For those facing depression or suicidal thoughts (including me) this is a great song to put your life into perspective. I Never Got To See The West Coast So is it courage or strength And is that what Im waiting for? If I could just kill myself Would it also kill the remorse? I wanted so badly to catch a break But Im only breaking down. Im still here and standing But if its up to me I dont think Ill be hanging around The drink slips down my throat And the burn cures nice and slow. All the worst parts I wouldnt want you to see The only parts left of me Now, here I am Just a kid without a better plan. But its the simple thoughts that haunt me the most. I never got to see the west coast Spent my nights just asking why Would God let me become like this. Was it a joke from the start? Was I suppose to laugh more at it? And everyones quoting their teachers and preachers But their words make me feel so alone. No one ever says that theyve had those thoughts In the middle of the night. No one ever admits that they wanted to take their life. The drink slips down my throat And the burn cures nice and slow All the worst parts I wouldnt want you to see The only parts left of me Now, here I am Just a kid without a better plan. But its the simple thoughts that haunt me the most. I never got to see the west coast But its the life I dreamed I have The love Ive found in my grasp The words I could share with someone. Those thoughts keep the breath in my lungs That tomorrow my hope will become To feel a love that cant be undone. And save a wretch like me. So if the drink slips down your throat And the burn cures nice and slow. All the worst parts you wouldnt want me to see The same parts, I have in me now, It scares me too, we are both this way, I feel just like you do; But when youre by yourself you should know One day we got to see the west coast.
