LYRICS
When she asks me where I’m from
I catch my tongue before saying I’m American
It’s getting embarrassing
It’s getting embarrassing
Freedom’s running up a fever
Change ain’t nothing but a t shirt
All my heroes need a rework
Or they’re in the freezer
I’m feeling
Like I don’t have a reason to believe in
Lying on the pavement they're leaving me behind
I’m bleeding out
I don’t wanna move on
But I don’t wanna get left behind
I don’t wanna move on
But I don’t wanna get left behind
I wanna lead a generation
But the train’s about to leave the station
I don’t wanna move on
But I don’t wanna get left behind
Maybe they would listen to me one time
If I died on the frontline
As a Martyr in the bloodline
Instead I’m singing in the sunshine
Oh no no no
I talked to an old man and he “listen son,
I too thought I’d start a revolution
If you don’t die young then you live to see that which you fear is that which you become”
I’m feeling
Like I don’t have a reason to believe in
Lying on the pavement they're leaving me behind
I’m bleeding out
I’m grieving
But Does any of this pain have meaning?
Or is it all for nothing, they’re leaving me behind
I’m bleeding out
I don’t wanna move on
But I don’t wanna get left behind
I don’t wanna move on
But I don’t wanna get left behind
I wanna lead a generation
But the trains about to leave the station
I don’t wanna move on
But I don’t wanna get left behind
I’m feeling
Like I don’t have a reason to believe in
Lying on the pavement they're leaving me behind
I’m bleeding out
I’m grieving
But Does any of this pain have meaning?
Or is it all for nothing, they’re leaving me behind
I’m bleeding out
I don’t wanna move on
But I don’t wanna get left behind (I don’t wanna be left behind)
I don’t wanna move on
But I don’t wanna get left behind (I don’t wanna be left behind)
I wanna lead a generation
But the trains about to leave the station
I don’t wanna move on
But I don’t wanna get left behind (I don’t wanna be left behind)
But I don’t wanna get left behind
But I don’t wanna get left behind

Grandson I dont get how you have so many good songs - and how they all sound like you, but aren't repetitive, and have wildly different vibes that you can chose to listen to depending on your mood. I guess all I can say is thanks

[Verse 1]
When she asks me where I'm from
I catch my tongue before saying I'm American
It's getting embarrassing (It's getting embarrassing)
Freedom's running up a fever
Change ain't nothing but a T-shirt
All my heroes need a rework

Lying on the pavement, they're leaving me behind

I don't wanna move on
But I don't wanna get left behind
I don't wanna move on
But I don't wanna get left behind
I wanna lead a generation
But the train's about to leave the station
I don't wanna move on
But I don't wanna get left behind
[Post-Chorus]
But I don't wanna get left behind

Oh no, no, no

If you don't die young, then you live to see
That which you fear is that which you become"

[@scart3redup304]

Let's go to 1 million!

[@dxrkwitch]

This song describes my life,I used to listen to it and cry,not many people cared about me which really upset me, I'm here to celebrate an achievement of mine,which came with the side affect of many people caring about me..
Said achievement has been my dream since third grade,and now that I'm on the way of achieving it,I feel like I finally found something good in the past year other than finding an amazing friend,thank you J,we might argue over if Grandson's music is good or not 24/7 (It's awesome,you can't fight me), You were always there for me when my life going wrong,and I'll always be there for you💖💜
Edit: Even the friend isn't there for me anymore, she replaced me, many people replaced me, I don't feel like anyone cares anymore except my online friends, I feel like if I died the only problems would be on social media, I wish this would all be over....
