The song is about an individual, possibly ‘Valerie’ who is displeased with the monotony of life and wishes to take her own life. Almost being successful.
[Verse 1]
Everyone looks the same in this town
You can hardly tell the difference
She stayed at home and figured out how
To will herself out of existence
[Chorus]
She gave it a try
She closed her eyes
She didn't know how it'd feel
She just hoped that it wouldn't hurt
It almost worked
[Verse 2]
They lie right to your face in this town
But what did you expect?
She wishes that she could have seen what they saw
That left them so unimpressed
[Chorus]
So she gave it a try
She started to cry
She said to herself, "Well, at least it could have been worse"
And it almost worked
