I've watched your slow descent
I've watched your spine get bent
You know, that's not the only way...
And you think they know the answers
To all those stupid questions
Like, "How far can I drag myself before I up and fade away?"
You're gonna die if you keep on asking
You're gonna leave the same impression
That you left on everyone back in high school
I've watched your eyes
Sink deeper still with every little lie
Oh please, you act so victimized. I'm sick of it.
They're got that high school hold on you
And you don't know what to do
You should've never let them through, you should've never let them through
You're gonna die if you keep on asking
You're gonna leave the same impression
That you left on everyone back in high school
You cut ties like the back of a jack knife
You'd rather burn rubber than look me straight in the eye
It stops now, you're coming home tonight
We may be young at heart
But not nearly enough to let this fall apart
We'll turn over every leaf until we find you a fresh start
We're going down together and we will live forever.
