[Verse 1]

I'm going to clean the house

I'm going to fix the fence

In my final hours

I'm going to tie up these loose ends

I won’t leave a note

For anyone to find

Tomorrow they'll know

What I've done here tonight


[Chorus]

The drastic steps I'm taking

Are just an act of desperation

I knew no one would miss me

So what the hell

I fought and lied I drank too much

Hurt everyone I ever touched

Just how much I hurt you is hard to tell

This is not some kind of cry for help

Just good bye I wish you well

Because I love you

I'm going to kill myself


[Verse 2]

Now who is that

In my easy chair

Now wait a minute

That's the old me sitting there

And I thank God

The devil in me died

I stand before you now

A man changed and alive


[Chorus]

The drastic steps I'm taking

Are just an act of desperation

I knew no one would miss me

So what the hell

I fought and lied I drank too much

Hurt everyone I ever touched

Just how much I hurt you is hard to tell

This is not some kind of cry for help

Just good bye I wish you well

Because I love you

I have to kill myself


[Outro]

Going to clean the house

Going to fix that fence

In my final hours I'm going to tie up these loose ends
