lyrics

I'm sorry mom I started smoking today
I wish that I could say it wasn't true
Don't worry dad, I quit right away
It's not for me and I thank you

The smoke alarm is going off, I was playing with fire
But you can't blame me I'm just trying to eat
That's just an excuse, the same one I always use
Try to be cool in my bare feet

Will this pain in my chest ever go away?
Am I stuck with this forever?
Will this pain in my chest ever go away?
Am I stuck with it forever?
I wonder if these nights are getting longer
Because the days seem to get shorter
I wonder if these nights are getting longer
Because they sure seem to get colder
I wonder if I'm getting better
I have to be getting better
I wonder if I'm getting better
I need to be getting better

I'm afraid, a bit bitter, and so tired
But I swear to God I'll recover

This is a journey
My life's a big cliché
It's not about the destination
I just know I'll get there someday.
