The No.1 Cause Of Death Amongst Youth Today
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I am an ordinary boy
I tell an ordinary story
I'm alive
My thought was once unique
But now I know I'm wrong
The wheels have fallen out
It should be sad
But no, it's not
'Cause now I've realized
(Ohh)
We all feel pain from time to time
(Ohh)
We all feel shame from time to time
I hear them talking endlessly
Their voices like a symphony
They carry on about my life
As if they've seen it on tv
It all comes back to expectation
Experience then revelation
'Cause we discovered some relationships
Were never meant to be
But do they really think
(Ohh)
We all feel pain from time to time
(Ohh)
We all feel shame from time to time
(Ohhhhh)
It is so heavy on my mind
(Ohhhh)
It's time to leave the past behind
(Ohhhhh)
You!
Know!
I!
Know!
What!
You!
Know!
I!
Think!
It's!
Time!
We!
Let!
Go!
I'm thinkin' 'bout my life
And I'm falling apart
Today,you've realized
It's only just a start
I am an ordinary boy
(In background-I am an ordinary boy)
I tell an ordinary story
(In background-I tell an ordinary story
I'm alive
(I'm alive)
My thought was once unique
(My thought was once unique)
But now I know I was wrong
The wheels have fallen out
(The wheels have fallen out)
It should be sad
But no,it's not
(It should be sad)
(But no,it's not)
'Cause now I've realized!
That iiii
Can put this pain
From out my mind
Iiii won't wear this shame
For all my life
(Iiii)
Nobody said that life was kind
(Iiii)
I think it's time we
Said goodbye
(Iiii)
We all feel good from time to time
(Iiii)
We all feel shame from time to time
(Iiii)
(Ohhh)
(Ohhh)
