I wish that I was older,
So I couldn't be controlled
By angry, insensitive, blind adults.
I hate when I am told
That I'm too young to realize
The hardships they go through.
For me they say they do it,
But I know it's for them too.
Don't act like you always know better
Because that's not always the case.
I'm not blind. I can see
The mistakes you can't erase.
I'm not saying I know everything,
Though that's probably what you hear.
I just saying maybe
you should use your ears,
And hear the words that I've been speaking,
The ones you've been tuning out,
For what could an ignorant
stupid, young punk
Possibly know about?
When I say that, yeah, I know
Maybe it's 'cause I do.
When I say you never listen
Maybe my words are true.
They will probably never see
How hard I always strive
To be enough,
because they're too
Wrapped up in their busy lives.
