7th Grade

I was torn down in the 7th grade
 All the things people used to say
 It's stuck in my mind now it'll come for me
 My heart used to beat until the 7th grade
 It's getting hard to even say anything
 It stuck in my mind now it'll come for me
 I hate words sometimes
 They're so powerful but not mine
 When I try to talk I say I'm fine
 No one ever really knows I'm lying
 Sitting in the classroom's worse than cryin'
 Try to hide it, my face is burning up
 Teacher says "no test today" I act excited
 That's what everyone else is doing
 I gotta get through it
 Hold my pencil in my hand so tight
 I think I'll get some bruises
 I'm that clueless
 I'm that clueless
 They always say not to talk down on myself
 But that's what everyone else is doing
 That's what everyone else is doing
 I gotta get through it
 Hold my pencil in my hand so tight
 I think I'll get some bruises
 I'm not clueless
 I don't think so at least
 But why can't I figure out why people?
 That are soft sometimes act like beasts?
 I was torn down in the 7th grade
 All the things people used to say
 It's stuck in my mind now it'll come for me
 My heart used to beat until the 7th grade
 It's getting hard to even say anything
 It stuck in my mind now it'll come for me
 So, many stories but people still think they're alone
 Every eyeball staring at them's another crack to the bone
 And every heart it rejects, all day they wanna go home
 And when they do, they just start crying from the jokes that were told
 How do these people that don't know me hurt me so bad?
 I might just be too sensitive, why am I always so sad?
 But all day I hide my sadness way deep down inside my heart
 And if I show it to anybody they would rip it all apart
 No, we're not paranoid just grown to be aware
 If they act all nice at first and even save you up a chair
 What do they want? This is a trick, this is a trap, I can't go on
 Hide in the bathroom 'til they're gone
 No way someone would actually want me
 I was torn down in the 7th grade
 All the things people used to say
 It's stuck in my mind now it'll come for me
 My heart used to beat until the 7th grade
 It's getting hard to even say anything
 It's stuck in my mind now it'll come for me
 And now I know to feel well it's okay
 I've heard the words, won't take them to my grave
 I was torn down in the 7th grade
 All the things people used to say
 It's stuck in my mind now it'll come for me
 My heart used to beat until the 7th grade
 It's getting hard to even say anything
 It's stuck in my mind now it'll come for me
 I was torn down
 Torn down, torn down, torn down, torn down
 I was torn down
 Torn down, torn down, torn down, torn down
 I was torn down in the 7th grade
