Thought when I grew up I would be the same

As the ones who gave me my last name

I would not give in, I would not partake

In the same old drugs everyone else takes.

I'm better than that, I'm better than that

I'm living my life so I go to heaven and never come back

But look where I'm at, look where I'm at

I'm livin' the life that I said I wouldn't, I wanna go back.

I used to call my mom every sunday

So she knew her love wasn't far away

But now I'm all fucked up out in la

'cause I care more about what other people say

I used to not take chances with god's name

But it's been so long since I last prayed

And now I'm all fucked up and my heart's changed

'cause I care more about what other people say.

Yeah, yeah...

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

'cause I care more about what other people say.

I wish I could shelter the boy I knew

From the constant hell I'd put him through

'cause I'm all grown up and I'm black and blue

I could use some tape, I could use some glue.

I'm better than that, I'm better than that

I should be livin' my life so I go to heaven and never come back.
