[Verse 1]

Like cigarettes and gasoline

I light a match and watch this scene

Burn away in front of me

The ashes of my misery

[Pre-Chorus]

I swear sometimes, I think this life is killin' me

(This life is killin' me)

I swear sometimes, I think this life is killin' me

[Chorus]

And I swear it's killin' me

All our shattered hopes

And our long-dead dreams

The wreckage that we all try to keep

From coming to life

And tearing us apart at the seams

At the seams

[Verse 2]

Sun-bleached bones and withered trees

Slowly rotting just like me

Empty bottles, broken glass

My resolve is fading fast

[Pre-Chorus]

I swear sometimes, I think this life is killin' me

(This life is killin' me)

I swear sometimes, I think this life is killin' me

[Chorus]

And I swear it's killin' me

All our shattered hopes

And our long-dead dreams

The wreckage that we all try to keep

From coming to life

And tearing us apart at the seams

At the seams... At the seams

[Bridge]

I swear sometimes, I can't breathe

So just look away

[Refrain]

I swear sometimes, I think this life is killin' me...

Swear sometimes, I think this life is killin' me

I swear sometimes, I think this life is killin' me...

Swear sometimes, I think this life is killin' me!

[Chorus]

And I swear it's killin' me

All our shattered hopes

And our long-dead dreams

The wreckage that we all try to keep

From coming to life

And tearing us apart at the seams

At the seams

[Post-Chorus]

(I swear it's killin' me)

At the seams...

(All our shattered hopes

And long-dead dreams)

At the seams...

(The wreckage that we all try to keep)

At the seams...

(From coming to life

And tearing us apart at the seams)

[Outro]

I swear sometimes, I think this life is killin' me

(This life is killin' me)

I swear sometimes, I think this life is killin' me

(This life is killin' me)

I swear sometimes, I think this life is killin' me

(This life is killin' me)

I swear it's killin' me! This life is killin' me!
