My gift to you
My gift to you
The hardest thing I did was live
Thinking I had nothing to give
I couldn't take anymore; I wanted to die
So suicide I gave a try
I swallowed some pills and slit my wrists;
Laid down for what seemed like a bit
When I woke up the pain was worse
Cause suicide is such a curse
For some odd reason I didn't die
I could give my life another try
I can now look back and see that
Suicide reinvented me
I've learned to take it day by day
Cause not all pain is here to stay
For those of you who want to die
Give your life another try
When you look at me, its not suicide you'll seee
For I once was you, and you are now me
I'm sharing my story with my life to live
THIS is what I have to give
Please give your life another try
People like me don't want you to die
