I'm gonna clean the house
I'm gonna fix the fence
In my final hours
I'm gonna tie up these loose ends

I won't leave a note
For any one to find
Tomorrow they'll know
What I've done here tonight

[chorus]
The drastic steps I've taken
Are just an act of desperation
I knew no one would miss me
So what the hell
I fought, I lied, I drank too much
Hurt every one I've ever touched
Just how much I hurt you, it's hard to tell
This is not some cry for help
It's goodbye, I wish you well
Because I love you, I'm gonna kill myself

Now who is that
In my easy chair
Now wait a minute
That's the old me sittin' there

And I thank God
The devil in me died
Because I stand before you now
A man changed and alive

[chorus]
The drastic steps I've taken
Were just an act of desperation
I knew no one would miss me
So what the hell
I fought, I lied, I drank too much
Hurt everyone I've ever touched
Just how much I hurt you, it's hard to tell
This is not some cry for help
It's goodbye, I wish you well
Because I love you, I had to kill myself

I'm gonna clean the house
I'm gonna fix that fence
In my final hours
I'm gonna tie up
These loose ends
