Wanna tell ya all 'bout Johnny, Well he was a good friend of mine But the bond it broke down over time 'Cause Johnny thrived on anger, He was bitter all the time Someone shoulda stopped and seen the signs He couldn't pay the cost, he was gettin' lost Wish someone noticed Johnny's takin' life too much for granted Johnny wants to leave it all behind Well we thought he was a loner, 'Cause he pushed us all away But he really wanted us to stay, yeah But we took him on the surface, Never lookin' deep inside Never thought that he would try and hide What's on the other side, Behind a mask of pride Wish someone woulda realized Johnny's takin' life too much for granted Johnny wants to check out of his mind Johnny's eaten up inside Contemplatin' suicide Johnny wants to leave it all behind One night while he was sleepin', Well it became so clear Don't push away the things you hold so dear Now he's holdin' on, and he's gettin' strong And he found a new perspective Johnny took his life too much for granted Johnny's gonna change his state of mind Johnny's feelin' good inside To hell with thoughts of suicide Johnny's gonna leave that all behind 'Cause on and on, now he's gettin' strong And he found that life's worth fightin' for
