[Part 1: Failed to Last]

[Chorus 1]
Fading memories, temporary
All that's over gone and passed
Today is new, it couldn't last
Sharing stories, waiting for me
Even though it didn't work
I'll take it as my lesson learned

[Verse 1]
Keep your head up out of line
Just put a smile on, I'll be fine
Drink it down, don't mind the taste
No need to wait, no time to waste
Oxycodone side effect
You've had your turn and don't attempt
Took a rest, I'm on the street
It hurts my lungs, I hate to breathe

[Chorus 1]
Fading memories, temporary
All that's over gone and passed
Today is new, it couldn't last
Sharing stories, waiting for me
Even though it didn't work
I'll take it as my lesson learned
[Verse 2]
Tried my luck and couldn't make
That second chance I wouldn't take
Getting by, I'm hating life
These razor blades, they must suffice
Tried my best, not good enough
I'm on the edge, I'm giving up
Looking down, no looking up
I've got a voice they couldn't love

[Chorus 1]
Fading memories, temporary
All that's over gone and passed
Today is new, it couldn't last
Sharing stories, waiting for me
Even though it didn't work
I'll take it as my lesson learned

[Part 2: Better Left Unsaid]

[Chorus 2]
Don't go, she wept, sometimes things are best unsaid
Don't leave, she meant, all those times I up and left
No heart so far, it's worked to help with these scars
No stars they are, spending nights behind the dark
[Verse 3]
Cry me a river and drown me in sorrow
I may not shiver but I will tomorrow
Cry me a river and drown me in sorrow
I may not shiver but I will tomorrow

[Chorus 2]
Don't go, she wept, sometimes things are best unsaid
Don't leave, she meant, all those times I up and left
No heart so far, it's worked to help with these scars
No stars they are, spending nights behind the dark

[Outro]
Cry me a river and drown me in sorrow
I may not shiver but I will tomorrow
Cry me a river and drown me in sorrow
I may not shiver but I will tomorrow
