She was a pretty nice girl, but you won't really know it
She always kept it to herself and tried her hardest not to show it
She wore scars on her wrists and never did her best to try to hide it
She was always caught up in some rumors but she never spread them
She was never much for poetry but that's just how she read them
Another day's another drag to all the kids that don't know how to spend them
Just another kid
She fell off the grid
They never really did try too hard to find her
She never listened to a word her parents ever told her
Her teachers and her so-called friends never did console her
She wasn't worth the double-takes to all the friends she never made who never saw her
She was a real pretty girl, but had some pretty ugly habits
Everything she saw or wanted she already had it
And it's hard to understand, to have the whole world in your hand and not to want it
Just another kid
That wanted to get rid
Of all the pains of being so pure and rejected
And her friends told her
You shouldn't be so scared of growing older
It's just another day, another night to drink away, another scar that's going to stay
They heard her speak
"I never thought my friends could be so bleak
But what's another couple of years, what's another sea of tears, can someone please be sincere?
I never wanted to be here. I never wanted to
I didn't ask to be with you
I never wanted to stay here. I never wanted to
I don't want to say it was a waste of time
