I give up
Isn't it obvious
You're fallin off of the fence
Where is your confidence?
We sell out, make them all proud of you
But I don't care what you do
As long as you follow through

Because you're old enough to know
That this is how it goes
And try not to break your back
With the weight of what you lack

Well go on, get it all off your chest
Looks like you've done your best
To make such an ugly mess
But I'll bet, if you just wanted to
You could do what you wanta do
And not hold it in
Like you do

Because you're old enough to know
That this is how it goes
And try not to take it hard
When you know you've gone too far

Because you're old enough to know
That this is how it goes
And try not to take it back
When it all comes on your head

And don't take it out on me
The way you know you will
Because as far as I can see
You'll be the one who's standing still
