The Day I Tried to Live
I woke the same as any other day, except
A voice was in my head
It said seize the day
Pull the trigger, drop the blade
And watch the rolling heads
And the day I tried to live
I stole a thousand beggars' change
And gave it to the rich
And the day I tried to win
I dangled from the power lines
And let the martyrs stretch
Singing
One more time around might do it
One more time around might make it
One more time around might do it
One more time around might make it
The day I tried to live
The words that you say never seem to live up
To the ones inside your head
And the lives that we make
Never seem to ever get us anywhere
But dead
And I woke the same
As any other day, you know
I should've stayed in bed
And I learned that I was a liar
Learned that I was a liar
I learned that I was a liar
Singing
One more time around might do it
One more time around might make it
One more time around might do it
One more time around
The day I tried to live
Just like
You
Ooh, Ooh
A voice was in my head
It said seize the day
Pull the trigger, drop the blade
And watch the rolling heads
And the day I tried to live
I stole a thousand beggars' change
And gave it to the rich
And the day I tried to win
I dangled from the power lines
And let the martyrs stretch
Singing
One more time around might do it
One more time around might make it
One more time around might do it
One more time around might make it
The day I tried to live
The words that you say never seem to live up
To the ones inside your head
And the lives that we make
Never seem to ever get us anywhere
But dead
And I woke the same
As any other day, you know
I should've stayed in bed
And I learned that I was a liar
Learned that I was a liar
I learned that I was a liar
Singing
One more time around might do it
One more time around might make it
One more time around might do it
One more time around
The day I tried to live
Just like
You
Ooh, Ooh
