lyrics

I went to 8 different schools in 9 different years soon I forgot how to make friends with my peers
I really got tired of saying goodbye move on to the next school just to retry
Again and again year after year and then 9 months later I would just disappear
And after a while I shut myself down I didn’t want any friends in any new town
I didn’t want to get close and later get hurt it’s better to be alone than stomped on in the dirt
Because that’s what it feels like when I say goodbye we got pretty close now I just want to cry
I will miss you something awful it will never be the same
But even after all these years I don’t know who to blame

But I want to see you again some other day
Yes I hope to see you again I still have things to say

I went to 8 different schools in 9 different years and I didn’t get any souvenirs
Just a pattern that I developed slowly back in those schools I guess you would’ve had to know me
Because when the end was in sight I would pick a really stupid fight
Just to make it easier when I went away but it was never really easier no it was a delay
My emotions would catch up to me and I’m sorry that I hurt you it was unnecessary
Because all I needed was a friend and I’m sorry you got hurt in the end

But I want to see you again some other day
Yes I hope to see you again I still have things to say
But I want to see you again some other day
Yes I hope to see you again that is all I have to say
