Could you ever believe that a tragedy could be tearing you at the seams?
You didn't realise through all the times you tried you were losing to your misery
But you brought it upon youself from the day you decided to be someone else
Growing hole in your heart you lost the way from the start
You were hurting from calamity
You were 18 you were out on your own
You had a big dream you were ready to go
The bottle of whisky you're only friend
Now you're 25 lucky to be alive
Soon your life is gonna pass you by
You gotta wake up, dont be blind
You're not the tragedy
Could you every believe that a tragedy could be saving you from the brink?
You didn't realise you were committing a crime by believe you could never succeed
You were losing you're mind to insanity too heavy you just couldn't think
Driving you're life to the edge somehow you're back from the dead
Like the winner of a lottery
You were 18 you were out on your own
You had a big dream you were ready to go
The bottle of whisky ain't you're only friend
Now you're 25 lucky to be alive
Soon your life is gonna pass you by
You gotta wake up, you gotta stop getting blind
You're not the tragedy
