My mother told me I'm way to young And I said Mom i just can't wait to run away I can do this I know I'm ready Step father told me You're way to weak And boy You wouldn't even last the week And so I left my home But they thought they knew Better than me But I thought I knew Better than them She told me that I had 3 more days And I needed to find a gig that paid Because rent just isnt free And I'm behind 2 months already I told her I can find work that pays But I Have got to go to the streets of grey Because They're the only ones That'll take me away from And I thought I knew Better than to Go back in to The darkness I came from I thought leaving Would make me feel better But it might take another 3 Fuckin Years Until I feel like I'm not stumbling And you thought of me As something that's better But you're better off it seems Without me I'm drowning in waves of My own selfish tendencies While you Tried bettering us Was busy bettering me Thought I was bigger than us But this was bigger than me So please keep bettering us While Keep bettering me And I'll start bettering you When I'm done bettering me When I'm done bettering me
