I Was 11
[Verse]
I wanna know what it is that I did wrong
Understand why you hate me for what feels like way too long
Why I’m destined to be laughed at
There’s no way I can take that, ‘cuz I’m not writing a song
“No rest for the weary”, right ‘cuz I can’t catch a break
Each step of mine in the playground seems like my newest mistake
You know the worst kind of sadness
The one equivalent to emptiness, every day is a blank slate

[Hook]
I guess it’d be weird if I knew a place where I felt safe
“They’re only mean to me cuz I teased them” that’s what I’ve been said
Ooooooh

[Chorus]
Is that what teenage is made of?
Is the salt in my tears depicting the fate of this life?
Someone stole my eyes
I feel empty
I feel sorry
I feel lonely, I need to be saved

[Outro]
I guess it’d be weird if I knew a place where I felt safe
I just need someone who resonates with the way I’m made
But who I am is just a punk, and that’s what I’ve been said
Ooooooh
Maybe I’ll find myself some day
