Verse

PALM MUTED]

Everything will soon turn black,

 so here's my letter.

 To get it off my chest.

Promise father, don't look back,

 it's not for the better.

 I know you tried your best.

Chorus

Everybody seems so happy like they all share

something I haven't felt for years.

 For long I've tried to just hold on but now I don't care

 I'm closing down my thoughts and fears.

 So forgive me, life is cruel.

 I'm leaving you.

Hear you little brother me,

 you know I'm sorry,

 for every high hand.

Give my love to mother,please

 tell her not to worry.

 I hope she'll understand.

Chorus

Everybody seems so happy like they all share

something I haven't felt for years.

 For long I've tried to just hold on but now I don't care

 So forgive me, life is cruel.

 I'm leaving you.

 Yeah forgive me, life is cruel.

 I'm leaving you.

Bridge

So long, don't wait for me in vain.

 What's wrong with being free from pain?

 Be strong and live your lives like I never could.

Farewell, let the memories be nice.

 To hell!? Don't think you go there twice.

 I'm well off right here, it's more than good.

 So Farewell...
