Wanna tell ya all bout Johnny,
well he was a good friend of mine
But the bond it broke down over time
Cause Johnny thrived on anger,
he was bitter all the time
Someone shoulda stopped and seen the signs
He couldnt pay the cost, he was gettin lost
Wish someone noticed
Johnnys takin life too much for granted
Johnny wants to leave it all behind
Well we thought he was a loner,
cause he pushed us all away
But he really wanted us to stay, yeah
But we took him on the surface,
never lookin deep inside
Never thought that he would try and hide
Whats on the other side,
behind a mask of pride
Wish someone woulda realized
Johnnys takin life too much for granted
Johnny wants to check out of his mind
Johnnys eaten up inside
Contemplatin suicide
Johnny wants to leave it all behind
One night while he was sleepin,
well it became so clear
Dont push away the things you hold so dear
Now hes holdin on, and hes gettin strong
And he found a new perspective
Johnny took his life too much for granted
Johnnys gonna change his state of mind
Johnnys feelin good inside
To hell with thoughts of suicide
Johnnys gonna leave that all behind
Cause on and on, now hes gettin strong
And he found that lifes worth fightin for
