kids in ohio

[Verse 1] I used to write songs every day In the hallway of our school We were just kids stuck in Ohio Nothing else to do I posted my heart online And somebody found me Changed up my hair and my name Until nobody knew me [Chorus] Cuz when you’re just a kid You believe them when they tell you Just do this to be a star And I won’t say out loud Everything that happened But I’m grateful now for every scar I learned to love my bleeding heart [Verse 2] I used to feel like I was an outcast Bathroom stalls at school “Dare to be different” that's what she taunted I was never cool But I learned that being your true self that's all that matters I learned to pick up the piece of my life that had shattered [Chorus] Cuz when you’re just a kid You believe them when they tell you Just do this to be a star And I won’t say out loud Everything that happened But I’m grateful now for every scar I learned to love my bleeding heart We've all got scars [Outro] We were just kids stuck in Ohio
