When my voice goes hoarse, and we all stop cryin' We said we'd do this shit for life, now I'm the last one tryin' [Outro: bearface & Kevin Abstract] I know what it's like, but it's so different You tried to keep it alive Oh, oh-oh, oh But I'll be fine So why won't you listen, baby (You tried, woo) You tried to keep it alive (Yeah) But I'll be fine Oh, yes, you did Woo
