The lights are a little dimmer in Detroit tonight
Looks like our little buddy rich just tried to give up the fight
With a bottle of pills and a loaded-mind
Too many problems and too little time
The ride was going too fast, it just wouldn't end
And I don't know what to say to you my friend
You found a way to kill the pain
You come back around and you see that nothing's gonna change
You planned to leave this world
You didn't know what you were headed for
You almost fell through the trap door
Always try to spring forward and not fall back
Stay away from the edge, try not to fall in the cracks
But sometimes the edge, it just can't be seen
And that makes it easier to fall in between
It's so hard when you're on the top and looking down
And it hurts when you cry and there's no one else around
When you hit the ground
A new day comes and a smile don't seem so hard
When you realize that in your hand is a winning card
Now you gotta another chance to make up your mind
To leave all your problems and worries behind
And now you see things brighter than you did before
So aren't you glad you didn't fall through that door
