For the kid Who survived
Pack your bags, we’re going on a guilt trip First stop: 12th grade, always thought I could Buy happiness, but I’m emotionally spent And I can’t afford to lose again
Another girl, another friend Another reason to leave the party early when I see you on the other side of the room The worst four letters: L-O-V-
-Enough’s enough I’m sick of having fun I’m sick of everything I love Going to someone else
And at the end of the night, I’ll still walk you to your car And take the long way home to avoid everyone Text me when you get homesick I’ve been thinking about that phone call I’ve been driving past your exit I know what we had wasn’t perfect But if it isn’t fixed, don’t break it, no
Broken window, playing ball in the backyard Broken window when I got in a fight with you Broken window just to get in my own house The landlord locked me out The rent’s past due
Order up! Burns on your hands from years of food service Loser What the fuck? I worked 40 hours last week, this can’t be right Under the table life
Flipping burgers, washing dishes, pumping gas, delivering pizzas Every weekend until the day I die I watch the kids with degrees just step all over me Now I’m arguing with some guys from New Jersey over extra cheese And I still think about that phone call And I still pass your exit And every day I think And I think about And I think, ah!
So this is what I had to live for? So this is what I had to live for?
Empty pockets, heartbreak, past mistakes, friends I hate Every night and every day until I just evaporate, I Love someone and it’s just not working, I Can’t follow my dreams, I’m always working, I Need to go back to school, I’m almost thirty, I Don’t know why I’m alive, swear I should have died that night
It’s hard for me, it’s hard for me to say that I’m actually happy that I’m still here I really try, but I’m really not okay and There’s no headline for the kid who survived There’s no headline for the kid who survived There’s no headline for the kid who survived
