Can you play me that suicide note The one that's supposed to kill the pain? And won't you please tell my dear mother I am sorry But this is the last chord I can afford to play? And I don't know where I went wrong I guess that's just the way that it goes I guess that's just one of the lessons that you learn Only fools fall in love with the radio So play that suicide note Let it ring out once for me And I'll be somewhere down the road Turning into a memory Play that suicide note Let it ring out loud and clear And let it be a warning There's only one way out of here Now take me back to first position Can you show me what I'm doing wrong? Am I etting go too soon Or has this been going on too long? Just please don't ask me what I'll do now Because this is all I've ever done But that river's deep, so maybe I'll just sleep 'Cause dreams ain't supposed to hurt no one And you can play that suicide note Just let it ring out once for me And I'll see you somewhere down the road Turning into a memory Play that suicide note Let it ring out loud and clear And let it be a warning There's only one way out of here
