Gradeschool

I was sitting in class
Getting used to my glasses
When I, I first drew my name
On the back of my lunchbox
Holes in my white socks
You said "I'd better get good grades"

All the other kids laughed
'Cause my teeth had a gap
I guess, I'd never noticed it before
John and his friends
Knocked the wind from my chest and left
Me lying in the grass

And I
Remember when I said "It's fine"
In all honesty, I lied
But didn't know it then
That I'd never be the same

Is it worth it to mention?
My need for attention arrived
Around the same time I
Pushed a pin through my ear
Grounded me for a year
And for what?
I was just trying to fit in

And I
Remember when I said "It's fine"
In all honesty, I lied
But didn't know it then
That I'd never be the same

And I
Remember when I said "It's fine"
In all honesty, I lied
But didn't know it then
That I'd never be the same

I'd never be the same
I'd never be the same
