Nevershoutnever - The Past

And I sing songs about the past

How I was raised and I was thrown out on my ass

'Cause I didn't care

About going to school

And I saw the look in her eyes

My mother nearly cried when I told her that I had wanted to go

Just to prove them wrong

I've been smoking cigarettes since I was only fourteen

Just to find an escape from this town that was so mean to me

And I sing songs about my friends

The way we grew up and all the lose ends we used to laugh,

'Cause we didn't give a damn

And I saw the look in my brother's eyes

When I told him I was leaving he couldn't help but despise me

He's wanted out his own life

I've been smoking the green since I was merely sixteen

Just to find an escape from this town that was so mean to me

And I sing songs about the past

I plead for relief

This town wont receive

All the things that I want

The things that I need

And I'll beg and I'll beg

I'm down on my knees

Mama, oh mama

Let me please leave

I plead for relief

This town wont receive

All the things that I want

The things that I need

All I ever wanted was love
