lyrics

I know nothing you said wasn't true
Believe it or not, I know it better than you
It's just tonight was no night for bad news
And there's a note on the door from someone else I've let down
There's just too damn much of that going around
It's not me — all of this — it's not me
And I swore I'd be different, I swore I would change
Well, sorry

To that shy, brilliant child with glasses too big
Smiling up at the grown-ups with his small, crooked teeth
I'm so sorry
This is all you became
Enjoy your notebooks of stories and your near-perfect grades
Because both will dry up by your nineteenth birthday
You won't notice until it's too late to change

Every last thing I've promised, they've all fallen through
And you can say what you want, but I've failed you, too
Everyone that I've loved, I've let down
And later this month, I will turn twenty-two
And I shouldn't feel scared, but God help me, I do
All that time, all those memories, gone
All that time, and just what have I done?

And to that shy, brilliant child with glasses too big
Smiling up at the grown-ups with his small, crooked teeth
I'm so sorry
This is all you became
Enjoy your notebooks of stories and your near-perfect grades
Because both will dry up by your nineteenth birthday
You won't notice until it's too late to change
