[Intro]
Why do I try?
I can't help myself sometimes
I feel so unalive

[Verse 1]
Just a shell of who I was
What I've seen has torn me up
All I do is run and run
I can't escape who I've become
I feel it in my chest
I wish I could forget
A memory of who I was is all that I have left

[Pre-Chorus]
And I can't breathe
(I try and try but never getting it right)
Lost a part of me
(I toss and turn, it happens every night)

[Chorus]
Why do I try?
I can't help myself sometimes
I feel so unalive
Why do I try?
I can't help myself sometimes
I feel so unalive
[Verse 2]
Like a zombie decaying
My heart beat is fading
Paranoid I'm close to death
My life is hanging by a thread
Dead man walking
The reaper's been calling
I can feel this is the end
Guiding me up to the edge

[Pre-Chorus]
And I can't breathe
(I try and try but never getting it right)
Lost a part of me
(I toss and turn, it happens every night)

[Chorus]
Why do I try?
I can't help myself sometimes
I feel so unalive
Why do I try?
I can't help myself sometimes
I feel so unalive

[Breakdown]
Breaking down, I'm such a tragedy
I'm paranoid that someone's out for me
[Chorus]
Why do I try?
I can't help myself sometimes
I feel so unalive
Why do I try?
I can't help myself sometimes
I feel so unalive
Why do I try? (Why do I try?)
I can't help myself sometimes
I feel so unalive

[Outro]
(I try and try but never getting it right)
I feel so unalive
