[Verse 1: Richard Patrick]
Life was just a school yard
Life was just a playground
Life was just a sweet suburban memory
It got changed when I first meet you
It got changed and I just let you
I just had to keep the peace inside of me

[Pre-Chorus:]
I have spent my life in here
In your home but my hell
I have spent my life in here
In your home but my hell

[Chorus:]
Catch a falling knife
With a razor's edge
To catch a falling life
That's better off dead

[Verse 2:]
Mom and Dad what happened?
I looked back and you were missing
It's been like that for such a long and lonely time
Life was just a school yard
Life was just a playground
Life was just a sweet suburban memory
[Pre-Chorus:]
I have spent my life in here
In your home but my hell
I have spent my life in here
In your home but my hell

[Chorus:]
Catch a falling knife
With a razor's edge
To catch a falling life
That's better off dead

[Bridge:]
Change the world in me
You didn't let me see
Hearts grow black and cold
It was young and now it's old
Old

[Chorus:]
Catch a falling knife
With a razor's edge
To catch a falling life
That's better off dead

[Chorus:]
Catch a falling knife
With a razor's edge
To catch a falling life
That's better off dead
[Pre-Chorus:]
I have spent my life in here
In your home but my hell
I have spent my life in here
In your home but my hell

[Chorus:]
Catch a falling knife
With a razor's edge
To catch a falling life
That's better off dead
