	Lyrics I'm not saying God screwed up, Might not have been involved at all, But I find myself yearning for something sacred that's gone, Since I took the fall. Time might heal most wounds, But this one's terminal. CHORUS: Cause I'm better off dead, Than living out this emptiness. Better off dead, I'm too resolved to be depressed. Give me a gun, or hand me a pill, If the reaper don't get me, the hopefulness will. I'd give back the years of smiles, If you'd erase the goodbye too. Got no need for melancholy memories of you. So come on back if just to give me a hand, To bury my head in the sand. CHORUS: If the darkness don't get me, the sunlight will.
