You're the kid Who didn't have anxiety Growing up You're the kid Who was never abused Parents didn't lay a finger on me You're the kid Who didn't fit in your Christian family Black sheep You're the kid Who saw everyone else suffer But not you ...not you... The few friends you had When they left, were they worthy? Or did you **** it up again? Your faith is misfired, again Schizophrenic A brittle child and a brute Did you spare your skin the razor Just to cut your heart on glass? Chew and swallow every shard You're four drinks in tonight, Jack Your mind on repeat Thinking of lost things ...fleeting things... Jason Mraz serenades your Buzzed mind "I Won't Give Up" That was "the song" for her You gave up Jack Pour the fifth glass You're just a kid Playing catchup on anxiety Growing old You're just a kid Savoring every sharp word Disappointment You're just a kid Quitting faith when it's hard Begging for love when you're alone You're just a kid Suffering and nobody sees you Just me ...yeah...
