Attention Tattered Youth
I’ve been lost
I’ve been found
I’ve been traded
Like a dollar on the street
Passed around
Loved and hated
Now I’m jaded, can’t you see?
There is a lot like me out there
Yeah there’s a lot like me out there
Who never really had a shot no matter what they did
They never had a chance just to be a kid
So we drink a lot and we sleep all day
We try to hide all of our problems away
When the sun comes up, we’ll just throw it all away
I guess there’s no other way out
So just stay out
Gonna do this on my own
You’re gonna see how it plays out
When I break out
When I find a new way home
Find a new way home
Moved out
Got my own place
Called my dad
He said “son are you ok?”
Yeah there’s a lot of things I wish I said
All these emotions filling up my head
The thought of losing you just makes me sad
So many memories I wish we had
Now I work all day and I stay up late
Try to think of all the things I’d say
When the sun comes up, let’s just take it day by day
I guess there’s no other way out
So just stay out
Gonna do this on my own
I’m gonna see where it plays out
How I make out
When I find a new way home
Gonna find a new way
Oh is there any other way to answer all my questions
Do I have to leave you lying all alone like a dollar on the street
There’s a lot like me out there
There’s a lot like me out there
There’s a lot like me out there
There’s a lot like me
I guess there’s no other way out
So just stay out
Gonna do this on my own
You’re gonna see how it plays out
When I break out
When I find a new way home
Gonna find a new way
Find a new way home
