I made a mistake today
Wish I could redo and repay
Now a madman gone insane
Nothing in this world left to gain

I closed my eyes today
The memories were there to stay
Riding on a wrong-way train
Is there anything left to gain?

I called around today
Tried to talk it all away
Still feeling like I can’t sustain
I see nothing left worth to gain

I cried a lot today
My tears just wouldn’t go away
The blood it made a stain
Mama, I’m sorry, What have I really gained?

I killed myself today
Tried to make it all go away
As I shrieked out in pain
What did I really gain?

I’m sorry to everyone today
I was selfish and now have gone away
Though my life I acted vain
There was nothing left for me to gain
