The Past

I sing songs about the past
And how I was raised and I was thrown out on my ass
'Cause I didn't care about going to school

And I saw the look in her eyes
My mother nearly cried when I told her that I wanted to go
Just to prove them wrong

I've been smoking cigarettes since I was only fourteen
Just to find an escape from this town that was so mean to me

And I sing songs about the friends
The way we grew up and all the loose ends we used to laugh
'cause we didn't give a damn

And I saw the look in my brother's eyes
When I told him I was leaving
He couldn't help but despise me
He's wanted out his whole life

I've been smoking the green since I was merely 16
Just to find an escape from this town that was so mean to me

I sing songs about the past

I plea for realief this town won't receive
All the things that i want the things that i need

And i'll beg and i'll beg
I'm down on my knees
Mama oh mama
Let me please leave

I plea for realief this town won't receive
All the things that i want all the things that i need

All i ever wanted was love
