[Verse 1]
Here goes the story of a kid we thought we knew (We thought we knew)
He hid a hate inside, and had a state of mind that put him in his grave
It began with his friends
They never noticed the despair in his eyes
From the pressure (From the pressure)
He thought his life was etched in stone
Before he made a choice of his own

[Chorus]
And he's dedicated for everyday that he made it on his own
In his father's eyes he's a pair of dice
He won't be number one (Won't be number one)
He won't be number one
Woo!

[Verse 2]
So he tries to comply with everything they've ever asked
And his life is stitched with one way tickets, to places he don't wanna visit
He says "I'm never gonna be perfect
Maybe I don't deserve this but
I'm doing the best I can
I've never dealt with the pressure
Feels like my whole life's etched in stone
Before I made a choice of my own!"
[Chorus]
And he's dedicated for everyday that he made it on his own
In his father's eyes he's a pair of dice
He won't be number one (Won't be number one)

[Verse 3]
So, save your breath, cause you'll need it when you hang from the rope
Cause of death obvious from your suicide note
The last words, that filled the page;
"If no one will listen, then no one will miss when I'm gone"
Across town, his dad wakes up all alone
Never knowing he was never going to come home
The last thought that filled his head
"I'll tell him I'm sorry, I'll say I regret what I said
It's your life, I'll live my own life instead"

[Chorus]
And he's dedicated for everyday that he made it on his own
In his father's eyes he's a pair of dice
He won't be number one
He's never won
He won't be number one

[Bridge]
His bedroom's filled with emptiness tonight
As the silence cuts through, like a knife
Knowing he's not there
[Chorus]
He was dedicated for everyday that he made it on his own
In his father's eyes he's a pair of dice
He won't be number one

[Outro]
"I'm never gonna be perfect, maybe I don't deserve it"
He won't be number one
Oh, and the story goes on and on and no one seems to care
We will let him know we care (We care)
Hang from the rope, he's dead and gone
