Sensitive Kid

I try being sweet
It�s very deep in me
Now I can only see red on red
My mom's going out with my best friend's dad
She talking loud I can't believe what she said
A sensitive kid x2
They sold the house, left photo albums there
No silver ware while paper walls were bare
I called all my friends, 'Come over! Come one, come all!
Let's get a crowd here for one last hoorah!
A sensitive kid x2
Who made me
A sensitive kid x2
The message was bleak, my brother pounded it in me
You climb it up or you cut it down
This is your family tree
I know you were born with a heart of gold
But, I want a purple heart that cannot dissolve
A sensitive kid x2
Don't call me
A sensitive kid x2
I can't tell you why you should a known it
Sensitive kids start acting like a grown up x4
