[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
(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!
