Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wish I was a couple years older
Couple years wiser
Just so I could know your heart
But I know that it would still confuse me anyway
[Verse 2]
I felt just a few degrees colder
Ever since the day that you left
Spare my soul
Now I can still feel the pieces of my youth just stripped away
[Verse 3]
What is life but a merry-go-round?
Just circling doubts livin' up in my head
I know that they want me dead
Keep me up when I try to stay down
I try to forget all the things they said
But they won't let me go
[Verse 4]
I try to fall asleep
But they won't let me dream
I just hope someday we'll come to terms
'Cause I'm falling underneath
And I try so hard to breathe
As this roller coaster kills me
[Verse 5]
So this goes out to the mind games in my head
You raise hell every night inside of my bed
I don't know where you came from
But I won't play your carnival no more
[Verse 6]
I wish I was just a little stronger
So they couldn't beat me up
But they did
Now I can still feel the mulch
That they kicked at me pierce my hope
[Verse 7]
So I dusted off my shoulders and then
Told myself that I could prove it to them
Just tryin' to justify the first taste of feelin' low
[Verse 8]
I try to fall asleep
But they won't let me dream
I just hope someday we'll come to terms
'Cause I'm falling underneath
And I try so hard to breathe
As this roller coaster kills me
[Verse 9]
So this goes out to the mind games in my head
You raise hell every night inside of my bed
I don't know where you came from
But I won't play your carnival no more
