well i’ve spent half my life
with this thorn in my side
trying to tear out the fangs
of my fathers pride
i can show you the streets
that i have walked down
trying to find my way out
of this miserable town
yeah we'd hide in the woods getting stoned all day
searching for words we all want to say
yeah i thought i told you not to show your face again
you sneak in through my window and i just can’t pretend
don’t act like i don’t know what you did to my friends
the scars may fade but their hearts may never mend
we all sit there in silence
on a new york bound train
and those tracks cross the river
like those scars cross your veins
no one ever says nothing
no one talks about the pain
they just put on blank faces
and stare up at the rain
yeah we'd hide in the city getting drunk all day
searching for words we all want to say
yeah i thought i told you not to show your face again
you sneak in through my window and i just can’t pretend
don’t act like i don’t know what you did to my friends
the scars may fade but their hearts may never mend
