"this is a song not a suicide letter" lyrics

You're gonna swallow the pills, 20 Advils and a bottle of vodka
I want you to know, I know how it goes
You don't get what you've wanted
And she breaks down the door, finds you on the floor, the one that you always thought you couldn't call
She's calling the ambulance to take you to hell and back

You wake up not dead in a hospital bed and you pull out the wires
The nurse by your side, you tell her you're fine but I know that you're lying
You crack a joke so that they won't keep you in overnight, let you go home
But home's where the problem is, it's where you don't wanna live

This is not the end, it's the anthem and it plays inside your head
And the drums sound like the heartbeat in your chest, oh
Hold on, I know that it's gonna get better
This is a song, not a suicide letter

You wouldn't believe the things we achieved, even if I told ya
You make up with your dad, break up with the bad ones, you even get sober
You'll come back ten years later to tell your younger self that you made it thru hell and then back again
There and back in an ambulance

This is not the end, it's the anthem and it plays inside your head
And the drums sound like the heartbeat in your chest, oh
Hold on, I know that it's gonna get better
This is a song, not a suicide letter
Yeah yeah, not a suicide letter
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah

This is not the end, it's the anthem in your head
And the drums sound like the heartbeat in your chest, oh
Hold on, I know that it's gonna get better
This is a song, not a suicide letter

This is not the end, it's the anthem and it plays inside your head
See me waiting for the ones we won't forget, no
Hold on, I know that it's gonna get better
This is a song, not a suicide letter
