Don't Bother

Don’t bother to live
Don’t bother to die
Go through life like it’s alright
Don’t bother to try
Don’t bother to cry
I thought everything would be alright

Don’t bother to scream
Don’t bother to try an save a life
Because I tried
But you left me here breathlessly
You have saved me unexpectedly
My image was distorted and I was fading away
But I took all the strength you could lend
To keep my head above water
Until the end
But the end came faster than we had hoped
My mind was made up
It was time to go
Do you remember the last thing I said to you?
Because trust me when I said it
I knew, it would be the last thing I ever told you

And now I sit
Gun in hand
Writing this letter
Hoping you’ll understand
That trying is too hard
And I gave up long ago
Your efforts to save me are appreciated
But my number’s up
I gave it my all
Weak is what I’ll always be
And now it’s time
The Curtain Call
