Thought when I grew up
I would be the same
As the ones
Who gave me my last name
I would not give in
I would not partake
In the same old drugs
Everyone else takes
I'm better than that
I'm better than that
I'm livin' my life
So I go to heaven
And never come back
But look where I'm at
Look where I'm at
I'm livin' the life that
I said I wouldn't and wanna go back
I used to call my mom every Sunday
So she knew her lovе wasn't far away
But now I'm all messed up out in LA
'cause I care morе about
What other people say
I used to not
Take chances with God's name
But it's been so long
Since I last prayed
And now I'm all messed up
And my heart's changed
'cause I care more about
What other people say
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
'cause I care more about
What other people say
I wish I could shelter
The boy I knew
From the constant hell
I'd put him through
'cause I'm all grown up
And I'm black and blue
I could use some tape
I could use some glue
I'm better than that
I'm better than that
I should be livin' my life
So I go to heaven
And never come back
I used to call my mom every Sunday
So she knew her love wasn't far away
But now I'm all
Messed up out in LA
'cause I care more about
What other people say
I used to not
Take chances with God's name
But it's been so long
Since I last prayed
And now I'm all messed up
And my heart's changed
'cause I care more about
What other people say
Yeah yeah yeah
'cause I care more about
What other people say
I thought when I grew up
I would be the same
As the ones
Who gave me my last name
I used to call my mom every Sunday
So she knew her love wasn't far away
But now I'm all
Messed up out in LA
'cause I care more about
What other people say

Take chances with God's name
But it's been so long
Since I last prayed
