[Verse 1: Richard Patrick]

Life was just a school yard

Life was just a playground

Life was just a sweet suburban memory

It got changed when I first meet you

It got changed and I just let you

I just had to keep the peace inside of me

[Pre-Chorus:]

I have spent my life in here

In your home but my hell

I have spent my life in here

In your home but my hell

[Chorus:]

Catch a falling knife

With a razor's edge

To catch a falling life

That's better off dead

[Verse 2:]

Mom and Dad what happened?

I looked back and you were missing

It's been like that for such a long and lonely time

Life was just a school yard

Life was just a playground

Life was just a sweet suburban memory

[Pre-Chorus:]

I have spent my life in here

In your home but my hell

I have spent my life in here

In your home but my hell

[Chorus:]

Catch a falling knife

With a razor's edge

To catch a falling life

That's better off dead

[Bridge:]

Change the world in me

You didn't let me see

Hearts grow black and cold

It was young and now it's old

Old

[Chorus:]

Catch a falling knife

With a razor's edge

To catch a falling life

That's better off dead

[Chorus:]

Catch a falling knife

With a razor's edge

To catch a falling life

That's better off dead

[Pre-Chorus:]

I have spent my life in here

In your home but my hell

I have spent my life in here

In your home but my hell

[Chorus:]

Catch a falling knife

With a razor's edge

To catch a falling life

That's better off dead
