Drowning In Life
Little town in the boondocks
Little girl just waiting to grow up
People thought her life was perfect
Thought she was perfect, but she wasn't
She felt like an outcast
with her friends,
felt like an outcast
to the whole wide world,
felt like she'd burst
with all her troubles,
felt like she'd drown in her life
Perfect grades got her freedom
Horrible temper got her grounded
Couldn't keep up with her parents expectations
Perfect music got her first chair
Sharp tongue got her the hallway
Couldn't stop cursing her teachers and life
Perfect actions got her friends
Fights got her in the office with none
Couldn't keep all these friendship rules straight
So she started drowning in her life
Got in trouble everyday
Couldn't help it with all the rules to break
Started skipping classes, cutting school
Her grades went down the drain with her life
Ranaway, came back
Found out that life wasn't for her
Couldn't keep anything straight
Couldn't do anything right
So she drowned in her life
Yeah, she drowned in her life
