Letra de Ballad Of Johnny

Wanna tell ya all 'bout Johnny
Well, he was a good friend of mine
But the bond, it broke down over time
'Cause Johnny thrived on anger
He was bitter all the time
Someone shoulda stopped and seen the signs
He couldn't pay the cost
He was gettin' lost
Wish someone woulda noticed

Johnny's takin' life too much for granted
Johnny wants to leave it all behind

Well, we thought he was a loner
'Cause he pushed us all away so far away
But he really wanted us to stay, yeah
But we took him on the surface, oh, yeah
Never lookin' deep inside, deep inside, oh yeah
Never thought that he would try and hide
What's on the other side
Behind a mask of pride
Wish someone woulda realized

Johnny's takin' life too much for granted
Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Johnny wants to check out of his mind
Johnny's eaten up inside
Contemplatin' suicide
Johnny wants to leave it all behind
Johnny wants to leave it all behind

Ah, yeah, one night while he was sleepin'
Well, it became so clear
Don't push away the things you hold so dear
Now he's holdin' on
And he's gettin' strong
And he found a new perspective

Johnny took his life too much for granted
Oh, yeah, yeah
Johnny's gonna change his state of mind
Johnny's feelin' good inside
To hell with thoughts of suicide
Johnny's gonna leave that all behind

'Cause on and on
Now he's gettin' strong
And he found that life's worth fightin' for

Johnny, Johnny
Johnny, Johnny, yeah

And now he's holdin' on
And now he's gettin' strong
Just leave it all behind, won't you Johnny, yeah
What's on the other side
Behind the mask of pride
Just throw it all aside, won't you, Johnny
Whoa, Johnny, whoa, Johnny
Won't you throw it all aside, yeah, yeah
'Cause on and on and on and on and on and on and on
And on and on, he's holdin' on
