You're not the same anymore

Don’t wanna play that game anymore

You'd make a better window than a door

Oh, the strangers, they implore

It gets so easy to ignore

Just like the girl next door

Uncle's house, it was noon

Sorry, boy, I can’t employ ya

You are strange, but I like you

Sorry, this is overdue

I promised I would do it right

Her and a boy on a Saturday night

And now the door slams shut

A child prisoner grows up

To seek his enemy's throat cut

(I'm on and on it, on and on and on it)

We're on the way, fuel the jet

Can see that what he wants, he gets

What does your sworn enemy regret?

I didn't know, I didn't care

I don't even understand

Did somethin' wrong, I wasn’t sure

Stay on top of this, or else

I was afraid, I fucked up

Yeah, yeah, yeah

I couldn’t change, it's too late

And now it’s time to show up

Late again, I can't grow up

And now it's on me, they've given up

Uncle’s house, I forget

Violent tendencies I get

Your timing sucks, she went overboard

Don't forget, you are insured

I didn't know, I wasn't sure

Can't remember all that well

I couldn't change, was too late

Yeah, yeah, yeah
