I am wanting, wanting, wanting
I am wishing, wishing, wishing
I am waiting, waiting, waiting
What could I do
What could I do

Every chance I get it comes
Closer, Closer, Closer
My heart pounding in my chest
Louder, faster, stronger
My life, it's held in my hands
Every hour
Every day
What could I do
What could I do

Everything seems so horrible
Make it go away
I shove my finger down my throat
and wait, wait, wait
My finger rests upon the trigger
I wait, wait, wait
Swallowing pills one by one
I wait, wait, wait
What could I do
What could I do

Am I strong enough
To be weak enough
To let myself slide by
