I Never Got To See The West Coast

So is it courage or strength
And is that what I'm waiting for?
If I could just kill myself
Would it also kill the remorse?I wanted so badly to catch a break
But I'm only breaking down
I'm still here and standing
But if it's up to me I don't think
I'll be hanging aroundThe drink slips down my throat
And the burn cures nice and slow
All the worst parts I wouldn't want you to see
The only parts left of meNow, here I am
Just a kid without a better plan
But it's the simple thoughts that haunt me the most
I never got to see the west coastSpent my nights just asking why
Would God let me become like this
Was it a joke from the start?
Was I suppose to laugh more at it?And everyone's quoting
Their teachers and preachers
But their words
Make me feel so aloneNo one ever says
That they've had those thoughts
In the middle of the night
No one ever admits
That they wanted to take their lifeThe drink slips down my throat
And the burn cures nice and slow
All the worst parts I wouldn't want you to see
The only parts left of meNow, here I am
Just a kid without a better plan
But it's the simple thoughts that haunt me the most
I never got to see the west coastBut it's the life I dreamed I have
The love I've found in my grasp
The words I could share with someoneThose thoughts keep the breath in my lungs
That tomorrow my hope will become
To feel my love that can't be undone
And save a wretch like meSo if the drink slips down your throat
And the burn cures nice and slow
All the worst parts you wouldn't want me to see
The same parts I have in meNow, scares me to [Incomprehensible] this way
I feel just like you do
But when you're by yourself you should know
One day we got to see the west coast
