Lyrics
Well I wake up in the morning and the shit hits the fan
Waking up to a challenging situation
I couldn't bring myself to do it so I pick up a can
Choosing an alternative, possibly escapism
And start drinking and drinking and drinking some more
Engaging in heavy drinking
Until I end up passing out on the bathroom floor
Intoxication leading to unconsciousness
Don't tell me that, I don't want you to die
Rejecting concern for one's well-being
And if I tell you that I love you I don't want you to cry
Expressing love without wanting emotional distress
And every bit of me is aching for that bitter sweet high
Desiring the mixed emotions of a high
And if I tell you that I love you I don't want you to cry
Repeating the desire for love without tears
Dopamine and cyanide run through my veins
Mentioning the presence of chemicals in the body
It feels so good but my heart is in pain
Pleasure coexisting with emotional pain
And I'm laying here cold and my body's a mess
Physical and emotional turmoil
Why do people freak out when you say you're depressed
Questioning societal reactions to depression
Don't tell me that, I don't want you to die
Reiteration of not wanting to hear about death
And if I tell you that I love you I don't want you to cry
Repeating the conflict of expressing love
And every bit of me is aching for that bitter sweet high
Craving the intense experience of a high
And if I tell you that I love you I don't want you to cry
Reaffirming the difficulty of expressing love
Don't tell me that, I don't want you to die
Reiterating the rejection of discussions about death
And if I tell you that I love you I don't want you to cry
Continuing the struggle with expressing love
And every bit of me is aching for that bitter sweet high
Persisting desire for the intense emotional experience
And if I tell you that I love you I don't want you to cry
Reiterating the challenge of expressing love
Don't tell me that, I don't want you to die
Consistent rejection of discussions about death
And if I tell you that I love you I don't want you to cry
Continuing the difficulty of expressing love
And every bit of me is aching for that bitter sweet high
Persistent craving for the intense emotional experience
And if I tell you that I love you I don't want you to cry
Reaffirming the desire to express love without tears
