  • I wrote a song about being suicidal
    Put it on the internet and it went kinda viral
    And my old friends, we don't talk anymore
    But I still have the memories of waking up on their floor
    And I'm mighty proud of where I'm at
    But I'm one bad day from falling back
    And I'm one bad day from relapse
    And I'm gon' wind myself right back in rehab, yeah

    I ain't above it, I know I'm not
    I am blessed with everything that I got
    I thought by now these thoughts would stop
    But I still have these dreams where I am takin' shots

    Johnny called me late last night
    And I told Mister Walker just go home, whoa-oh
    I prayed I'd make it through the night
    Now I'm, I'm wakin' up all alone

    If I ain't with the band and I ain't on the road
    I don't know who I am when I am home alone
    And I buy all this stuff 'cause I wanna feel something
    I feel something for a minute then it's back to feeling nothing
    All these books piling up on self-improvement
    How the hell can I improve if I'm gonna read but I ain't gon' do it?
    And I'm at war with myself
    Battered and bruised from my mental health and

    Johnny called me late last night
    And I told Mister Walker just go home, whoa-oh
    I prayed I'd make it through the night
    Now I'm, I'm wakin' up all alone

    Johnny's still callin' me
    Johnny's still callin' me (calling me)
    Johnny's still callin' me (calling me)

    I think I'm fat, so I don't eat
    I pop a Xanny and I send my ass to sleep
    I wake up just to do it all again
    Will this shit ever end?

    Johnny called me late last night
    And I told Mister Walker just go home, whoa-oh
    I prayed I'd make it through the night
    Now I'm, I'm wakin' up all alone

    Johnny's still callin' me (calling me)
    Johnny's still callin' me (calling me)
    Johnny's still callin' me (calling me)
    Johnny's still callin' me (calling me) Writer/s: Michael Joseph Wise, Morgan Dealie Wade, Sadler Jennings Vaden
