I once had a friend

They found him in a car

A hose to the window

And the motor running hot



Seems he couldn't take it, the rhetoric of life

Someone found him naked

With a note right by his side, by his side

Oh, by his side



He can't take it back

Neither can I

No, neither can I



Mommy and Daddy

I've borrowed the car to sleep on the floor

I'm sorry so much for bringing

My own living hell to your door



Thanks for all the flowers

At the ringside seat

Thanks for nothing everyone

The prayers were too weak



This is the way

It happens all the time

Can you pay attention

To everyone that cries?



Remember, you can make it through

And make it new

Only if you try

You gotta try



'Cause you can't take it back

And neither can I

No, neither can I



Mommy and Daddy

I've borrowed the car to sleep on the floor

I'm sorry so much for bringing

My own living hell to your door



But things had gotten heavy

Everything was deep

Nothing really mattered

So I just went to sleep, I just went to sleep



And I can't take it back

I won't try



I won't try

I won't try

I won't try

I won't try



Mommy and Daddy

I've borrowed the car to sleep on the floor

Mommy and Daddy

I'm sorry to tell you, life is a bore



Don't send any flowers

Don't send anymore

'Cause I can't give it back

No more
