Killing Yourself

from Sea Things by Sterling Witt

/

lyrics

I’ve got nothing no complaints for all I’ve had
I lost my mother and well you know my dad
For the life he had he did the best he could
But he didn’t do a damn thing like he should
I gave up living life at home
And a girl who always likes to talk on the phone
She doesn’t love me but she likes to pretend
I left her hanging out on the other end


Oh babe don’t do this to me hold me responsible for what you believe
A true love fantasy that I can’t see a mirage on the hill in the cemetery
I got an ocean view and a summer breeze underneath the birch tree watching the leaves falling like an acrobat from a trapeze Oh babe what do you want from me

I need a vacation from the land upstairs
You don’t understand you know and I don’t care
Just because your folks didn’t treat you right
Doesn’t give any reason to hangout and fight
I’m depressed sick and sad from all of the lies
You treat me like an enemy why am I surprised
Searching for the parents that we never had
Your not my mother and I’ll never be your dad

Oh babe don’t do this to me hold me responsible for what you believe
A true love fantasy that I can’t see a mirage on the hill in the cemetery
I got an ocean view and a summer breeze underneath the birch tree watching the leaves falling like an acrobat from a trapeze Oh babe what do you want from me

If you think you thought you had it all worked out
Well there are some shadows and there are some doubts
Jesus what that hell is it you want from me
I got people places and things to see
Darling listen closely when you tell me good bye
This will be the last time you ever lie
I’ve got more important things to do with my life
Than have you convince me that you are my wife

Oh babe don’t do this to me hold me responsible for what you believe
A true love fantasy that I can’t see a mirage on the hill in the cemetery
I got an ocean view and a summer breeze underneath the birch tree watching the leaves falling like an acrobat from a trapeze Oh babe what do you want from me

Suicide is one thing darling but this I can’t believe
You hold me hostage and threaten me your gonna kill yourself if I leave
