I never thought
That I'd die like this
I laughed more then the rest
I laughed louder and more joyfully...
I took my time yet hurried through life
It was my decision -
...Maybe I could have put more thought into life
I'm too far gone to keep going
You'll be sorry when I'm gone
I never won
I rarely surrendered
It was so much better when I was younger!
Those days I felt like staying alive!
I couldn't wait to get away!
The world was great!
The day was over
I'd lived through it
I couldn't wait to get home
To pass the rest of my day alone
I never thought
That I'd die like this
I'll be forgotten in so little time!
Give everything to my friends...
They'll never be welcome in my room again
You'll close it off
Leaving it exactly as I left it
Please tell my family
Not to blame themselves
I never won
I rarely surrendered
It was so much better when I was younger!
Those days I felt like staying alive!
I couldn't wait to get away!
The world was great!
The day was over
I'd lived through it
I couldn't wait to get home
To pass the rest of my day alone
I never won
I rarely surrendered
Tomorrow will be so much better!
Days when I can be happy
When I can't wait to get away!
The world was great!
The day was over
I'd lived through it
I couldn't wait to get home
To pass the rest of my day alone

Author notes
This is based on the song "Adam's Song" by Blink 182.
Here is the song on youtube:

For those of you who know me, the song title hs NOTHING to do with my ex, even though it seems that it does. I love the song and thats all there is to it. Please don't read too much into it!

Short, but definitely with good potential. You bring lots of different feelings, and I love that. Dispair, frustration, sadness. A good mix. Good job!
