Here goes the story of a kid we thought we knew He hid a hate inside and had a state of mind That put him in his grave It began with his friends They never noticed the despair in his eyes From the pressure (From the pressure) His life was etched in stone Before he made a choice of his own
And he's dedicated For everyday that he made it on his own In his fathers eyes he's a pair of dice and He wont be number one (Be number one) He wont be number one
So he tries to comply With everything they've ever asked. And his life Is stitched with one-way tickets To places he don't want to visit He says: I'm never gonna be perfect Maybe I don't deserve this. But I'm doing the best I can I've never dealt with the pressure Feels like my whole life's etched in stone Before I've made a choice of my own
And he's dedicated For everyday that he made it on his own In his fathers eyes He's a pair of dice He wont be number one (Be number one)
So save your breath cause you'll Need it when you hang from a rope Cause of death: Obvious from your suicide note The last words that filled the page: If no one will listen then no one Will miss when I'm gone Across town his dad falls asleep all alone Never knowing he was never going to come home The last thoughts that filled his head I'll tell him I'm sorry I'll say I regret what I said It's your life I'll live my own life instead
And he's dedicated For everyday that he made it on his own In his fathers eyes he's a pair of dice He wont be number one
He never won
(He wont be number one)
His bedrooms filled with emptiness tonight As the silence cuts through like a knife Knowing he's not there
He was dedicated For everyday that he made it on his own In his fathers eyes he's a pair of dice He wont be number one
I'm never gonna be perfect Maybe I don't deserve this (It takes me?) I wont be number one
And the story goes on and on And no one seems to care
