7th Grade

I was torn down in the 7th grade All the things people used to say It's stuck in my mind now it'll come for me My heart used to beat until the 7th grade It's getting hard to even say anything It stuck in my mind now it'll come for me I hate words sometimes They're so powerful but not mine When I try to talk I say I'm fine No one ever really knows I'm lying Sitting in the classroom's worse than cryin' Try to hide it, my face is burning up Teacher says "no test today" I act excited That's what everyone else is doing I gotta get through it Hold my pencil in my hand so tight I think I'll get some bruises I'm that clueless I'm that clueless They always say not to talk down on myself But that's what everyone else is doing That's what everyone else is doing I gotta get through it Hold my pencil in my hand so tight I think I'll get some bruises I'm not clueless I don't think so at least But why can't I figure out why people? That are soft sometimes act like beasts? I was torn down in the 7th grade All the things people used to say It's stuck in my mind now it'll come for me My heart used to beat until the 7th grade It's getting hard to even say anything It stuck in my mind now it'll come for me So, many stories but people still think they're alone Every eyeball staring at them's another crack to the bone And every heart it rejects, all day they wanna go home And when they do, they just start crying from the jokes that were told How do these people that don't know me hurt me so bad? I might just be too sensitive, why am I always so sad? But all day I hide my sadness way deep down inside my heart And if I show it to anybody they would rip it all apart No, we're not paranoid just grown to be aware If they act all nice at first and even save you up a chair What do they want? This is a trick, this is a trap, I can't go on Hide in the bathroom 'til they're gone No way someone would actually want me I was torn down in the 7th grade All the things people used to say It's stuck in my mind now it'll come for me My heart used to beat until the 7th grade It's getting hard to even say anything It's stuck in my mind now it'll come for me And now I know to feel well it's okay I've heard the words, won't take them to my grave I was torn down in the 7th grade All the things people used to say It's stuck in my mind now it'll come for me My heart used to beat until the 7th grade It's getting hard to even say anything It's stuck in my mind now it'll come for me I was torn down Torn down, torn down, torn down, torn down I was torn down Torn down, torn down, torn down, torn down I was torn down in the 7th grade
