Highschool Interlude

We were raised in a small town, not in a fairy tale no Fell in love with a day dreamer skin that was very pale Had friends that would stick with us through thick and through thin All our struggles made us stronger turned our skin thick from thin If we didn't learn from failure then how would we grow If we didn't learn from failure then how would we know? Oh you can't blame the way we were raised Maybe, we never would have made it through life Oh you can't blame the way we were raised Sometimes it's the reason that we survived Oh you can't blame the way we were raised No you can't blame the way we were raised Without my dad I wouldn't know to stay sober sometimes How to handle the drunks and save a few lives Without my dad I wouldn't know how to hold myself I might have anger issues but I learned to control myself Mother's gentle shoulder to lean on sometimes I might've thought it was wrong for me to cry Without mom there to hold us I wouldn't know about goodbyes Had to build my defenses to see through the lies Oh you can't blame the way we were raised Maybe, we never would have made it through life Oh you can't blame the way we were raised Sometimes it's the reason that we survived Oh you can't blame the way we were raised No you can't blame the way we were raised No you can't blame the way we were raised No you can't blame the way we were raised No Oh no no no Oh no no no Oh
