Sixteen

2, 3, 4!

I remember the first time my heart fell apart
I remember when the cutting started
I remember the music that saved my life
I remember the night that the music died
I remember the guns and the knives
I remember the tears and the cries
I remember the time that my dad said to me,
"Son, I'm disappointed. You're not who I wanted you to be."

Well, I was sixteen
And I was living the dream
Engulfed in the emotional scene
I was sixteen
Dressed like it was Halloween
Ready to take the world down with me

I remember the girl who became my world
We watched the stars on the lake while we twirled
I remember when she told me she'd been cheating
She never loved me, why did I ever believe?
I wrote the lyrics that fucking described
And I punched a hole in the wall straight through it
And I screamed the words that kill me sometimes
And I hate the world, these stars will never be mine

Well, I was sixteen
And I was living the dream
Engulfed in the emotional scene
I was sixteen
Dressed like it was Halloween
Ready to take the world down with me

I will fight it
I won't deny it
Stick my fingers up and tell them to fuck themselves
I'll win this
There's no denying
I'm fucking sick of crying

I was sixteen
And life was a nightmare
I don't think I've ever felt so scared
I was sixteen
And nothing was fair
I don't give a fuck, no I don't care

Well, I was sixteen
And I was living the dream
Engulfed in the emotional scene
I was sixteen
Dressed like it was Halloween
Ready to take the world down with me

I was sixteen
And I was living the dream
