I once had a friend
They found him in a car
A hose to the window
And the motor running hot

Seems he couldn't take it, the rhetoric of life
Someone found him naked
With a note right by his side, by his side
Oh, by his side

He can't take it back
Neither can I
No, neither can I

Mommy and Daddy
I've borrowed the car to sleep on the floor
I'm sorry so much for bringing
My own living hell to your door

Thanks for all the flowers
At the ringside seat
Thanks for nothing everyone
The prayers were too weak

This is the way
It happens all the time
Can you pay attention
To everyone that cries?

Remember, you can make it through
And make it new
Only if you try
You gotta try

'Cause you can't take it back
And neither can I
No, neither can I

Mommy and Daddy
I've borrowed the car to sleep on the floor
I'm sorry so much for bringing
My own living hell to your door

But things had gotten heavy
Everything was deep
Nothing really mattered
So I just went to sleep, I just went to sleep

And I can't take it back
I won't try

I won't try
I won't try
I won't try
I won't try

Mommy and Daddy
I've borrowed the car to sleep on the floor
Mommy and Daddy
I'm sorry to tell you, life is a bore

Don't send any flowers
Don't send anymore
'Cause I can't give it back
No more
