Cover art for Even If It Kills Me lyrics by Motion City Soundtrack

oops mass commenting by me.. well anyway the song is about justin overcoming his drinking and drug problem.. he had a breakup from his 2.5 year girlfriend while recording the album.. and he got fucked for couple of weeks (this is from an interview in drummedia).

he has now however been sober for 100 days. and counting. explains this:

"For the first time in a long time I can say that I want to try I feel helpless for the most part, but I'm learning to open my eyes And the sad truth of the matter is I'll never get over it, But I'm gonna try To get better and overcome each moment In my own way...

I so want to get back on track And I'll do whatever it takes Even if it kills me..."
