I Never Got To See The West Coast Lyrics

So is it courage or strength
And is that what I'm waiting for?
If I could just kill myself
Would it also kill the remorse?

I wanted so badly to catch a break
But I'm only breaking down
I'm still here and standing
But if it's up to me I don't think
I'll be hanging around

The drink slips down my throat
And the burn cures nice and slow
All the worst parts I wouldn't want you to see
The only parts left of me

Now, here I am
Just a kid without a better plan
But it's the simple thoughts that haunt me the most
I never got to see the west coast

Spent my nights just asking why
Would God let me become like this
Was it a joke from the start?
Was I suppose to laugh more at it?

And everyone's quoting
Their teachers and preachers
But their words
Make me feel so alone

No one ever says
That they've had those thoughtsEmery - I Never Got To See The West Coast - http://motolyrics.com/emery/i-never-got-to-see-the-west-coast-lyrics.html
In the middle of the night
No one ever admits
That they wanted to take their life

The drink slips down my throat
And the burn cures nice and slow
All the worst parts I wouldn't want you to see
The only parts left of me

Now, here I am
Just a kid without a better plan
But it's the simple thoughts that haunt me the most
I never got to see the west coast

But it's the life I dreamed I have
The love I've found in my grasp
The words I could share with someone

Those thoughts keep the breath in my lungs
That tomorrow my hope will become
To feel my love that can't be undone
And save a wretch like me

So if the drink slips down your throat
And the burn cures nice and slow
All the worst parts you wouldn't want me to see
The same parts I have in me

Now, scares me to [Incomprehensible] this way
I feel just like you do
But when you're by yourself you should know
One day we got to see the west coast
