I don't want to live, but I don't care enough to die. I've contemplated it before but now Im not afraid to try. I am feeling down, and Im staring up at the sky. Nobody asks how I am anymore, so I don't need to lie.

I am tired of pushing the gas, but I hate stepping on the brake, and I'm anxious when I accelerate.

I don't want to stop, and I've got no place to go. I just want to drift away and let nobody know.

I don't want to live, but I don't feel the need to let myself die. I used to hurt myself, but now I don't even cry. And though I'm feeling low, I'm not trying hard to hide. Nobody asks where I am anymore, so I don't have to lie.

I've been stuck so deep inside,
My eyes have completely dried,
I won't commit to suicide,
Because I just don't care enough to die.
