Wake in the morning
Grab your lunch and kiss your mother sweetly
Meet up with your best friend
'Cause he knows what you're thinking

Said I'm gonna get a gun
Show the teachers that killing can be fun

If you only knew what I'm trying to do
It wouldn't look so bad
If you could only see what I'm trying to be
You wouldn't get so mad

The scene is too familiar
Shots rung out
Leave a small town speechless
You never thought they saw you
But you've made them notice

Did you always feel alone?
Is Daddy drunken, a stranger in your home?

If you only knew what we're trying to do
It wouldn't look so bad
If you could only see what we're trying to be
You wouldn't get so mad
You wouldn't look so sad

When we are alone when I'm sleeping
You need to get in your room
And I don't care where you're going
As long as I don't have to look at you

If you only knew what they're trying to do
It wouldn't look so bad
If you could only see what they're trying to be
You wouldn't get so mad

You wouldn't looks so sad
You wouldn't get so mad
You wouldn't be so sad
