Left home so young
Off to join the noise
Blend into the crowd, be a shade upon shades
And I went through it all
Just for being cool
I'm not so sure, so I wind up in school
Leaving in the night, leaving everything
Never felt so right
Because I want everything, to remain as it seemed
Before I left that day
And I twinge with hesitance
As I'm walking through that door
Leaving the chatter and talk behind backs
Knives into our friends
I love all my friends
I don't know what I could do to pretend
Leaving in the night, leaving everything
Never felt so right
Because I want everything, to remain as it seemed
Before I left that day
