Текст песни

It was my last attempt
It was my last defense
I didn’t think I could ever do it Until I did it It was my last attempt
It was my last defense
I didn’t think I could ever do it Until I did it If it were yesterday
Or any other day
I would have run away
Playing dumb
I would have stayed away
If it were afternoon
Or night or day
I would have run away
And put things off
And stayed away
Until another day, because-
It was my last attempt
It was my last defense
I didn’t think I could ever do it Until I did it It was my last attempt
It was my last defense
I didn’t think I could ever do it Until I did it Sometimes you have to be Stretched to the wire
Before you can untie your hands
Before you move
Sometimes the gun must be Held to your head
When there’s nothing left
When there’s nothing left
You can go ahead, because-
It was my last attempt
It was my last defense
I didn’t think I could ever do it Until I did it It was my last attempt
It was my last defense
I didn’t think I could ever do it Until I did it Face the chair
Firing squad
Without the heat
To bring you fear
You’ll never know
What you can do Keep it going (repeat)
So there’s a way out of that corner
you’ve painted yourself into. And maybe
you’re just gonna have to dig that ditch
a little bit deeper before you can get
out of it. Well do you just gotta stand up.
I mean if you sit down all your life what
are you gonna do? I mean you’re just
gonna have to climb up right over
yourself and get out of there. I mean
that mess you’re in, you’re just gonna
have to get out of it. You’re
gonna have to decide you gonna do it. You’re
gonna have to decide you wanna do it, and
then you’re just gonna do it.
So okay, all right, okay, okay, oh It was my last attempt
It was my last defense
I didn’t think I could ever do it Until I did it It was my last attempt
It was my last defense
I didn’t think I could ever do it Until I did it …
