LYRICS:
Would you tell me if there’s something wrong?
Would you tell me if there’s something getting you down?
This is just a short line
To let you know I’m around
I know
I’m not the best to open up to
I don’t take things too seriously
But I feel these words are overdue
You won’t be the first or last to think this through
Just hear me out if you’ve got the time
I hope these words don’t misconstrue
Every decision I have made was wrong
The words I’ve written were for the wrong songs
A rhyme so out of time
The battles in my mind
Would you tell me if there’s something wrong?
Would you tell me if there’s something getting you down?
This is just a short line
To let you know that I’m around
Full of shit
So much so your plants are gonna love me to bits
And I know that I shouldn’t joke
But sometimes it’s humour that gets me through
I’m just tryin to let you know
That it’s not so bad and that your friends are here for you
Here for you
I’ve stood on the edge of the abyss
Stared into it’s vacuous darkness
It’s blackened heart beckoning me to jump
And right to this very day
I’m so glad that I stayed
Cause I have done so much more with this life
Than I have ever dreamed of.
