Get help, life is precious, don't give it all away...

lyrics

How did you, how did you,
How did you give it all away? (x2)

How did you give it all away on that day?
An explanation so hard to convey in that way
And how did you summon up the strength, it's intense
How did you decide it was time to go the length?
You swung for the fence and the outcome was immense
But you could not simmer down when you were feeling tense
And you can't tell us now, you left us in suspense
We tried to find out why but it really makes no sense
How did you decide it was time to end the ride?
Was it many different forces that combined to collide?
Did you feel unsuccessful with something that you tried?
And you couldn't turn the tide because something in you died?
Troubles multiplied but you bottled them inside
And the divide between you and happiness got so wide
People asked you what was up and you smiled and you lied
And said everything was fine until they found out you had died
How did you give it all away?

How did you, how did you,
How did you give it all away? (x2)

Head ready, heart heavy, feeling so isolated
Back and forth in your mind, pros and cons you debated
And you waited for a time when you weren't so deflated
But you hated all the things in life that you created
Frustrated while everyone around you seemed elated,
Highly animated, everything they say is overstated
And everything you say leaves you empty, humiliated
Confidence shattered, swag obliterated
The pursuit of happiness is a long winding road
Surround yourself with others who can help share the load
And there's no shame in sadness when you feel all alone
We all feel pain, some we brush off, some we own
I told you this on "Circles" and I meant it too
If you know what you love, you should do what you do
And if you feel like giving up, we all stand up and say
Get help, life is precious, don't give it all away

Now don't you, now don't you
Now don't you give it all away (x2)

Keep on keeping on
Keep on keeping on....
