lyrics

I WAS YOUNG BUT I WAS DYING
I COULD BEARLY KEEP ALIVE
YOU CAN LAUGH ALL YOU WANT BEHIND MY BACK
IM ALONE , SCHOOL IS CLOSED
AND I COULD NEVER KILL THE GHOST
IN EVERY WORD, EVERY SONG THAT I PLAY
SOMETHING HAPPEND , YOU WERE LATE
I CAN ONLY SIT AND WAIT
DINNER’S SERVED PLEASE FORGET WHAT I SAID ABOUT YOU

I WAS BORN UNDER THE SIGN OF A TERRIBLE MOON
I WAS WAITING FOR A CHANCE TO FORGET ABOUT YOU
BUT I WAS CONSTANTLY REMINDED OF THE THINGS I WOULD NEVER DO... LIKE YOU

TWELVE WAS NOT WHAT I EXPECTED
ITS NO FUN WHEN YOURE REJECTED
HANGING OUT AT THE LOST AND FOUND
TWISTED UP AND HALF WAY BROKEN
I WAS STRANDED IN A HALLWAY WHERE THE STAINED LEATHER COUCHES CAN TALK TO YOU
STEALING 1ST WAS NOT A PROBLEM
BUT TO HIDE IT FROM MY MOTHER ON THE ROAD TO BECOMING A MAN

I WAS BORN UNDER THE SIGN OF A TERRIBLE MOON
I WAS WAITING FOR A CHANCE TO FORGET ABOUT YOU
BUT I WAS CONSTANTLY REMINDED OF THE THINGS I WOULD NEVER DO... LIKE YOU

IS IT WRONG FOR ME TO QUESTION
IS IT LATE TO GET AN ANSWER
I CAN SEE THAT YOURE SIGN SAYS DO NOT DISTURBE
ILL GO BACK TO WHERE I CAME FROM
I´VE NO MANNERS AT THE TABLE
I CAN SEE THAT YOU DONT WANT TO TALK ABOUT THIS

I WAS BORN UNDER THE SIGN OF A TERRIBLE MOON
I WAS WAITING FOR A CHANCE TO FORGET ABOUT YOU
BUT I WAS CONSTANTLY REMINDED OF THE MAN I´D NEVER BECOME... LIKE YOU
