[00:00.47]I Never Got to See the West Coast
[00:01.59]So is it courage or strength,
[00:05.85]and is that what I'm waiting for?
[00:09.80]If I could just kill myself,
[00:14.48]would it also kill the remorse?
[00:18.29]I wanted so badly to catch a break,
[00:23.35]but I'm only breaking down.
[00:26.92]I'm still here and standing
[00:29.54]but if it's up to me, I don't think?.
[00:35.54]I'll be?. hanging around
[00:45.16]The drink slips down my throat and the burn cures nice and slow all the worst parts I wouldn't want you to see
[00:59.60]The only parts left of me now?
[01:04.54]Here I am, just a kid without a better plan,
[01:10.48]But it's the simple thoughts that haunt me the most
[01:16.98]...I never got to see the west coast
[01:39.96]Spend my nights just asking why,
[01:44.96]would God let me become like this
[01:48.46]Was it a joke from the start,
[01:53.03]was I s'posed to laugh more at it?
[01:56.77]And everyone's quoting the teachers and preachers,
[02:01.28]but their words make me feel so alone.
[02:05.65]No one ever says that they've had those thoughts in the middle of the night.
[02:13.97]No one ever admits that they wanted to take their life
[02:21.54]The drink slips down my throat,
[02:25.54]and the burn cures nice and slow
[02:29.91]All the worst parts I wouldn't want you to see,
[02:36.09]the only parts left of me now.
[02:40.91]Here I am just a kid without a better plan
[02:46.85]But it's the simple thoughts that haunt me the most
[02:53.35]... I never got to see the west coast
[02:58.10]But it's the life I dreamed I d have,
[03:10.74]the love I would find in my grasp,
[03:15.37]the words I could share with someone...
[03:23.62]Those thoughts keep the breath in my lungs,
[03:28.18]the tomorrow my hope will become
[03:32.43]fulfilled by a Love that can't be undone...
[03:40.49]....And save a wretch like me
[03:48.96]So if the drink slips down your throat,
[03:53.33]and the burn cures nice and slow,
[03:57.64]all the worst parts you wouldn't want me to see,
[04:03.83]the same parts I have in me now?.
[04:08.71]it scares me, too, we are both this way?.
[04:13.08]I feel just like you do.
[04:16.65]But when you're by yourself you should know...
[04:21.28]...One day we gotta see the west coast.
