I've been thinkin' that life's too short
00:14
So many friends got their life cut short
00:17
Now I'm standing here doing lines in the bathroom
00:20
I hate myself, but I felt like I had to
00:24
I've been hiding pain that's underneath
00:29
And I've been up so long, I'm scared to sleep
00:32
And if something were to happen to me
00:35
Can someone please
00:38
Tell my mama that I love her
00:40
And I'm sorry for the pain, sorry for the pain
00:43
That I caused her when I was younger
00:47
All the stress I put her under
00:51
Tell my mama that I love her
00:54
And I'm sorry for the pain, sorry for the pain
00:57
That I caused her when I was younger
01:01
All the stress I put her under
01:04
And everybody says that I've been manic
01:09
I think they might be right, but I still manage
01:13
Lately, I've been so annoyed
01:17
'Cause they think that I'm just paranoid
01:20
I've been hiding pain that's underneath
01:24
And I've been up so long, I'm scared to sleep
01:27
And if something were to happen to me
01:30
Can someone please
01:33
Tell my mama that I love her
01:35
And I'm sorry for the pain, sorry for the pain
01:38
That I caused her when I was younger
01:42
All the stress I put her under
01:45
Tell my mama that I love her
01:49
And I'm sorry for the pain, sorry for the pain
01:52
That I caused her when I was younger
01:55
All the stress I put her under
01:59
I've been thinkin' that life's too short
02:03
So many friends got their life cut short
02:07
And I remember when I said I'd never be like this
02:10
Be like this
02:14
Tell my mama that I love her
02:16
And I'm sorry for the pain, sorry for the pain
02:19
That I caused her when I was younger
02:23
All the stress I put her under
02:27
Tell my mama that I love her
02:30
And I'm sorry for the pain, sorry for the pain
02:33
That I caused her when I was younger
02:36
All the stress I put her under
02:40

[English]
I've been thinkin' that life's too shortSo many friends got their life cut short
Now I'm standing here doing lines in the bathroom
I hate myself, but I felt like I had to
I've been hiding pain that's underneath
And I've been up so long, I'm scared to sleep
And if something were to happen to me
Can someone please
Tell my mama that I love her
And I'm sorry for the pain, sorry for the pain
That I caused her when I was younger
All the stress I put her under
Tell my mama that I love her
And I'm sorry for the pain, sorry for the pain
That I caused her when I was younger
All the stress I put her under
And everybody says that I've been manic
I think they might be right, but I still manage
Lately, I've been so annoyed
'Cause they think that I'm just paranoid
I've been hiding pain that's underneath
And I've been up so long, I'm scared to sleep
And if something were to happen to me
Can someone please
Tell my mama that I love her
And I'm sorry for the pain, sorry for the pain
That I caused her when I was younger
All the stress I put her under
Tell my mama that I love her
And I'm sorry for the pain, sorry for the pain
That I caused her when I was younger
All the stress I put her under
I've been thinkin' that life's too short
So many friends got their life cut short
And I remember when I said I'd never be like this
Be like this
Tell my mama that I love her
And I'm sorry for the pain, sorry for the pain
That I caused her when I was younger
All the stress I put her under
Tell my mama that I love her
And I'm sorry for the pain, sorry for the pain
That I caused her when I was younger
All the stress I put her under
