Potential Suicide Lyrics by Allister

Before the Blackout

2005

[Verse 1]
She sits at home and tries to remember all the days when everybody said nothing could bring her down
Now she's found she can't stand the sight of her reflection in the windows of this beat up old town

[Pre-Chorus]
She's packing all of her problems into a carry-on bag
She's packing all of her sorrow into one last silver box labeled memories

[Chorus]
And every night that she's alive is a potential suicide
And all the teardrops that she cries won’t help her

[Verse 2]
She goes to bed at night just to wake up to a nightmare and a headache that will never go away
She's doing time and hating every minute of it
Blaming everything on something she can't escape
She cries and she cries, but no one ever listens
She doesn't understand why she can't slow down

[Pre-Chorus]
She's packing all of her problems into a carry-on bag
She's packing all of her sorrow into one last silver box labeled memories

[Chorus]
And every night that she's alive is a potential suicide
And all the teardrops that she cries won’t help her
And all the pain she's kept inside doesn't help to cleanse her mind from all the heartache and the frustration tonight
And now it feels like she's been dealt a shitty hand
She's headed eastbound but she doesn't understand

[Chorus]
And every night that she's alive is a potential suicide
And all the teardrops that she cries won’t help her
And all the pain she's kept inside doesn't help to cleanse her mind from all the heartache and the frustration tonight

[Chorus]
And every night that she's alive is a potential suicide
And all the teardrops that she cries won’t help her
And all the pain she's kept inside doesn't help to cleanse her mind from all the heartache and the frustration tonight
