You often hear that high school is a place to find yourself,
That it's the best years of our lives.
I'm not saying it's not true,
But I'm definitely not saying it is.

First of all,
Everyone is having ***.
Parties, study sessions, bathroom visits; it doesn't ******* matter.
It's just all about who's banging who.

The drugs are arguably the best part.
The drugs are just meaningless because to most of us, they're just a high.
But they are such a vital part of who we become.
The blow and the bud made me see life is better without it.

Rock and roll, oh rock and roll.
How you kept me company on those lonely nights.
The lyrics always seemed to match us.
And the melodies were always parallel to how we felt.

Love; **** love.
I hate the phrase, "It's just a high school relationship."
Just because we are not adults, with a **** job and ******-up debt-ridden life,
Doesn't mean we don't know pain.
It doesn't ******* mean that it means nothing.
It doesn't ******* mean that we don't know what true love is.
True love was staying up all night, talking on the phone.
True love was talking about nothing for hours but never pressing pause on our smiles.
True love was her face, walking down the halls, looking at each other like they were worth diamonds and just being together.
Don't ever tell me that I don't know.
I know; I had it ripped away.

It's said high school is the best years of our life.
And it's true.
If you can take the pain and learn from it,
You'll understand that life is ****** from the get-go.
