Lyrics

Once you said you'd stick to it 'til the end
I guess you lied, they call it suicide
Now you're gone, what was so wrong
that you couldn't find a way to carry on?

Second guess
Did I do my best?
There was a friend I had...

Johnny was a weirdo
So what did you expect?
I ain't no fucking hero
I'm just trying to survive myself

I should have known you went through it alone
I wonder why did you even try?
You could have come to me
I would have helped you see
You could have found a way to carry on

Second guess
Did I do my best?
There was a friend I had...

Johnny was a weirdo
So what did you expect?
I ain't no fucking hero
I'm just trying to survive myself

Johnny's strange behavior
was a tip-off, they say
But I ain't no fucking savior
I'm just living day by day

Little things, little lives
Hanging 'til the end
I say it don't really mean nothing
Telling truth, telling lies
I used to have a friend
I say it don't really mean nothing
And I can't let this feeling go
Let this feeling go
Let this feeling go
Let this, let it go

Once you said you'd stick to it 'til the end
I guess you lied, they call it suicide
Now you're gone, what was so wrong
that you couldn't find a way to carry on?

Second guess
Did I do my best?
There was a friend I had...

Johnny was a weirdo
So what did you expect?
I ain't no fucking hero
I'm just trying to survive myself

Johnny's strange behavior
was a tip-off, they say
But I ain't no fucking savior
I'm just living day by day
