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
