Your Common Response
You’re nineteen now
Yeah, I know
You have a record
Yeah, I know
Not a good thing
Yeah, I know
Life can be hard
Yeah, I know
Were things normal
Yeah, I know
Life would be easy
Yeah, I know
You do understand
Yeah, I know
How much you’ve screwed up
Yeah, I know
You really don’t care
Yeah, I know
I get that now
Yeah, I know
You think its okay
Yeah, I know
To do what you want
Yeah, I know
But do keep in mind
Yeah, I know
I’m clearly not blind
Yeah, I know
I try to let go
Yeah, I know
Of thinking you care
Yeah, I know
Your favorite phrase
Yeah, I know
All it tells me
Is what you don’t know
You know nothing of me
And how much I cry
And worry about you
And where you will die
You can’t live your life
With nothing to show
So much potential
Yeah, I know
