Never Happen to Me

Never happen to me I got the world on my shoulders I'll never grow old Like my parents before me I know all their mistakes And I won't bend under the weight And the TV's on But nobody's watching cause everybody fell asleep And the door is wide open The rain is falling, it's coming in through the screen We got our feet in the sand But only in our dreams, cause we can't afford it I thought that they'd never leave But now my daddy is dying, my mother refuses to speak It'll never happen to me I've got the world on my shoulders I'll never grow old Never happen to me I've got the world on my shoulders I'll never grow old I see her looking at me She can still live in the moment cause she doesn't know yet All the things that will be I want her to stay perfectly safe from the hurt of this world It's rising like the sea I see it swallow my friends, I don't know where it ends but they Seem to wake from their dreams Only to want to lie down and go back to dreaming again It'll never happen to me I got the world on my shoulders I'll never grow old Never happen to me I've got the world on my shoulder I'll never grow old
