He isn't lonely or addicted to drugs
He doesn't owe his mother's money to thugs
He's not an alcoholic, he isn't depressed
And he's gonna break a lot of hearts when he hangs himself

He's not afraid of his past or disappointing his wife
He wasn't called a fucking knacker every day of his life
He never lied to his children, they're better off if he leaves
Cause what he has is a problem, not a fucking disease
He doesn't think when he's drinking, he doesn't drink to forget
He doesn't drink to remember the smell of drink on her breath
He's middle class and he's white, he has no cause for complaining
He wasn't sexually assaulted by those fellas at training
She doesn't care what they're saying, ignore the mud that they're slinging
Cause all the noise that's annoying her will be gone when she's swinging
He's exhausted from existing so he's taking a breather
And sonny's not committing nothing he's just doing em' a favour

Sonny O' Sonny don't go hanging yourself
Sonny O' Sonny don't go hanging yourself
Sonny O' Sonny don't go hanging yourself
It isn't your time to die

Sonny O' Sonny don't go hanging yourself
Sonny O' Sonny don't go hanging yourself
Sonny O' Sonny don't go hanging yourself
A horrible way to die
He's not ashamed of himself, he's not afraid of his dad
Why would he suck a fucking cock when he has fanny on tap?
She's not addicted to drink, she's not addicted to drink
She's not addicted to sinking pints till her skin starts to stink
He's not as broke as a promise all the money he's owing
Sonny doesn't need a fucking job where he's going
He's not in love with the seven year old from two houses down
And no one thinks she'd be safer if Sonny hangs or he drowns
He thinks it's hard to be a burden when you're walking on air
So leave a beautiful corpse, with gel in your hair
He's not as strong as the cancer dancing inside of her chest
And he's gonna break a lot of hearts when he hangs himself

Sonny O' Sonny don't go hanging yourself
Sonny O' Sonny don't go hanging yourself
Sonny O' Sonny don't go hanging yourself
It isn't your time to die

Sonny O' Sonny don't go hanging yourself
Sonny O' Sonny don't go hanging yourself
Sonny O' Sonny don't go hanging yourself
A horrible way to die

It's always dark before the light but you have to hold onto hope
You are important to someone Sonny, so put down the rope
