(Verse 1)
I need a moment away, I need my own space
A minute to think 'cause I can't think straight
These thoughts keep racing, no, they don’t make sense
I wish I could relax, but I’m so tense
Pistol in my hand, it'll end it quick, it'll make a mess
I can’t deal with this anymore, I can’t take the stress
No rope for me; they'd find me and break inside
Maybe 20 Percocets will help me hide
(Pre-Chorus)
140 on the highway, it’s just me and the night
Maybe I’ll hit that oak before the gap, end the fight
I think about this shit nearly every day
But as long as you’re okay, it’s my price to pay
(Chorus)
Lord, please take me home; I don’t want it this way
I don’t think I can stand another fucking day
Take this pain from me, it's too much to see
I don’t want. To. Have. To. Make. Myself. Bleed
(Verse 2)
People think they know my pain, they say, “Find God”
But I talk to Him, and I’m not sure He’s on the job
They say He’s listening, but it’s hard to believe
When every prayer I send comes back to deceive
But I’ll be okay, you know I’ll be fine
Swear if you hear me say it, I’m lying every time
Still, I’ll keep fighting, no matter how long
Even if it feels like I don’t belong
(Chorus)
Lord, please take me home; I don’t want it this way
I don’t think I can stand another fucking day
Take this pain from me, it's too much to see
I don’t want. To. Have. To. Make. Myself. Bleed
(Outro)
Lord, take me home, take this pain away
Don’t let it end like this; don’t let me fade away.
