I was a quiet girl growing up
Licking my wounds in the comfort of my bedroom
Like a girl growing up
I was in bloom
Like a flower in a monsoon
Grew up too fast
Grew up top fast
Needed the cash
I'll be on my paper route
Grew up to fast
Grew up too fast
Gotta make some cash
See you on my paper route
Then one day on the job
There was this dog
It jumped right up and bit me
Through my clothes
Teeth and bone
I was alone
That's when it hit me
Just bite your tongue
Just bite your tongue
There's nothing wrong
Crying on the paper route
Just bite your tongue
Just bite your tongue
And carry on
And on and on and oh oh on
My head is on fire
My heart is a liar
Cause it hurts to be loud sometimes
It hurts to be loud sometimes
My head is on fire
My heart is a liar
Cause it hurts to be loud sometimes
It hurts to be loud sometimes
There was this older man by his door
Waiting around with this chocolate to greet me
It was old
Full of mold
I ate it all so I wouldn't hurt his feelings
I do my job
I do my job
I keep it up
I'll be on my paper route
Some day I'm gone
Some day I'm gone
It won't be long
And on and on and oh oh on
My head is on fire
My heart is a liar
Cause it hurts to be loud sometimes
It hurts to be loud sometimes
My head is on fire
(My head is on fire)
My heart is a liar
(My heart is a liar)
Cause it hurts to be loud sometimes
It hurts to be loud sometimes
There's a psycho living under my roof
I want him gone but I don't get to choose
I'm so angry but I keep from screaming
Time's too slow so I keep on dreaming
Hold it in
Now let it out in the safe zone of your paper route
Hold it in
Now let it out
Cause you're safe here on your paper route
My route
My route
Oh
My head is on fire
My heart is a liar
Cause it hurts to be loud sometimes
It hurts to be loud sometimes
My head is on fire
(My head is on fire)
My heart is a liar
(My heart is a liar)
Cause it hurts to be loud sometimes
It hurts to be loud sometimes
Hold it in
Now let it out
Cause it hurts to be loud sometimes
Hold it in
Now let it out
Cause it hurts to be loud sometimes
