Teen Angst

why do you try to act
like you're my friend
when I turn around
you stick the knife in me again
I go to my folks and
they call me a brat
but I shouldn't have
to put up with shit like that

Chorus:
         always plain to see when you're crying
         you wanna be free like you're flying
         it's so hard to cope when you're dying
         wanna give up hope but keep trying

why can't I get
you out of my mind?
total brainwash
sign of the times
a hole in my heart
and a hole in my head
you told me that without you
I'm better off dead

Chorus

now I'm left here
sitting by myself
you took my feelings
put them on a shelf
I'm alive and I'm kicking
but I'm down on the floor
I don't know if I can
take this anymore
