I Won't Do It Myself

+ Show full styles

[Short Intro] [Verse 1] I wake up drowning in your memory’s tide, Suffocating, yeah, but I can’t decide— Do I want a lightning strike or a meteor crash? Maybe swerve off the road in a fireball flash? [Pre-Chorus] I'm not the kind to take the easy way out, But, baby, this pain’s got me screaming and shoutin’— [Chorus] Let the sky come down, let the earth give way, Let a grand piano crush me where I lay— Let the Boogieman drag me under my bed, Or quicksand swallow me up instead! I won’t do it myself, but I wish I was gone, Let the reaper decide… then carry me on! [Break] Yeah... I won't do it myself.... [Verse 2] Could slip on a rake, take a nail to the brain, Or tumble through a wormhole, never seen again— Let a vending machine drop, a safe from the sky, Or a jealous husband make me say goodbye! [Pre-Chorus] I'm not the type to pull my own plug, But, damn, this love’s like a venomous drug— [Chorus] Let the sky come down, let the earth give way, Let a grand piano crush me where I lay— Let the Boogieman drag me under my bed, Or quicksand swallow me up instead! I won’t do it myself, but I wish I was gone, Let the reaper decide… then carry me on! [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] Maybe a shark could rip me apart, Or an anvil drop and break my heart— A freak accident, a rogue samurai, I just need to stop screaming your name at the sky! Whooah-ooooh-ooooooh! [Final Chorus] Let the sky explode, let the planets collide, Let a lightning strike take me for a ride— Let the Boogieman laugh as he pulls me below, Or a tidal wave end this show! I won’t do it myself, but I’m hanging on wrong, Let the reaper decide… I’ve been waiting too long! [Refrain] I won't pull the trigger, no razor, no rope, no pills, no hope... But if fate wants to take me, I won't say no... [End with Melody]
