My Original Songs

13 Years Old

13 years old

I'm still a kid

Living like

I wish I did

There's light coming through the window

Even though the drapes are closed

Thinking scary thoughts at midnight

But no one knows

I'm 13 years old

I'll be graduating soon

But I

Won't be

Missing you

I'm 13 years old

Hiding tears from myself

Because I don't want anyone's help

I'm 13 years old

There's a boulder on my chest

And a storm in my head

But I'm

Just a kid

Living life

Like I wish I did

When I was ten

I was messing around when I hit sand

I fell and scraped my knee when I did land

I have the scar

When I was six

I had tea parties with my dad

Up in the attic even when I was sad

When I was two

My mom left for three years

She took everything that was hers

Oh well I'm growing up

But it's not all that fun

New problems

Now that the old ones are done

They only get worse and worse

Every day

Oh is there any other way?

I'm 13 years old

Hiding tears from myself

Because I don't want anyone's help

I'm 13 years old

There's a boulder on my chest

And a storm in my head

But I'm

Just a kid

Living life

Like I wish I did

I walk out of the room

And suddenly it's all okay

You're happier when I'm not around anyway

I just make everyone sad

And I can tell you're glad when I run away

I'm 13 years old

Hiding tears from myself

Because I don't want anyone's help

I'm 13 years old

There's a boulder on my chest

And a storm in my head

But I'm

Just a kid

Living life

Like I wish I did

There's light coming through the window

Even though the drapes are closed

Thinking scary thoughts at midnight

But no one knows

I'm 13 years old

I'll be graduating soon

But I

Won't be

Missing you

I'm 13 years old

Hiding tears from myself

Because I don't want anyone's help

I'm 13 years old

There's a boulder on my chest

And a storm in my head

But I'm

Just a kid

Living life

Like I wish I did
