Lyrics:
I'm sorry mom, I shouldn't have to write this
song.
I should think a little deeper into the things
that could go wrong,
Before they're done. And I should just bite
my tongue because I always do this when I
rush into shit, and the choice that I make
ends up being useless.
And I'm still waiting for time to save me.
I don't know what happened to the kid I used
to be,
Everything that I would think of used to be
everything but me,
But growing up seems more like growing
selfish.
Tell me what can I do? Can't seem to
fucking stop this.
I'm sorry pop, I wish I wasn't so dumb.
I thought that you'd be proud of me but in
the end I turned out wrong.
And you don't see your son, and that should
be number one.
We should take complete advantage of this
time until it’s done.
And I'm still waiting, but I haven't gained a
thing.
[Chorus]
(Can't seem to fucking stop this)
Monster, that's been growing inside,
Growing uglier with time, it pulls me in like
the tide.
I'm sorry, mom, just bring me back to land.
I'm sorry, pop, just help me understand this life.
I've lost me, out at sea, and it’s useless to try to
pull me back to life.
'Cause this ain't living, and now I'm cringing at
the fact that this is just the fucking beginning.
Does it get worse? (Where's the kid I used to be?) Because I don't know if I'm strong enough to handle worse. (What happened to me?)
