Parents

I know that it seems like I’m running away That I’m being somebody else most of the day I got caught up in trying my best to show off Trying to convince myself what I want Sometimes I really have nothing to say It doesn’t mean that I’m not feeling okay You’re lying if you say you never feel lost How should I know what I want You don’t know everything You don’t know what it’s like to be sixteen anymore You don’t know anything Give it up Throw it out I know you tell me not to care what they think That being myself is like some special trick I spend too much time trying my best to show off You don’t have to tell me the cost Is New York City too far or not far enough I dream about meeting a girl and falling in love Playing my music alone in the parking lot How would you know what I want You don’t know everything You don’t know what it’s like to be sixteen anymore You don’t know anything Give it up Throw it out I don’t wanna keep score I’ve always been right next to you And you’ve given me everything that I hold on to But you don’t know everything You don’t know everything You don’t know anything You don’t know anything You think you protect me from all of the heartbreak But I’ll never learn if I don’t make my own mistakes I’m not going away, going away We’ll always be us at the end of the day, end of the day After all of this crying All of this trying I can get up when I fall Up when I fall You won’t have to worry at all You don’t know everything You don’t know what it’s like to be sixteen anymore You don’t know anything Give it up Throw it out I don’t wanna keep score I’ve always been right next to you And you’ve given me everything that I hold on to But you don’t know everything You don’t know everything You don’t know anything You don’t know anything
