7th Grade Lyrics

I was torn down in the 7th grade

All the things people used to say

It stuck in my mind now it'll come for me

My heart used to beat until the 7th grade

It's getting hard to even say anything

It stuck in my mind now it'll come for me

I hate words sometimes

They're so powerful but not mine

When I try to talk I say I'm fine, no one ever really knows I'm lying

Sitting in the classroom's worse than cryin'

Try to hide it my face is burning up

Teacher says "no test today" I act excited

That's what everyone else is doing

I gotta get through it

Hold my pencil in my hand so tight I think I'll get some bruises

I'm that clueless

I'm that clueless

They always say not to talk down on myself but that's what everyone else is doing

That's what everyone else is doing

I gotta get through it

Hold my pencil in my hand so tight I think I'll get some bruises

I'm not clueless

I don't think so at least

But why can't I figure out why people that are soft sometimes act like beasts

I was torn down in the 7th grade

All the things people used to say

It stuck in my mind now it'll come for me

My heart used to beat until the 7th grade

It's getting hard to even say anything

It stuck in my mind now it’ll come for me

So many stories but people still think they're alone

Every eyeball staring at them's another crack to the bone

And every heart it rejects, all day they wanna go home

And when they do they just start crying from the jokes that were told

How do these people that don't know me hurt me so bad

I might just be too sensitive, why am I always so sad

But all day I hide my sadness way deep down inside my heart

And if I show it to anybody they would rip it all apart

No we're not paranoid just grown to be aware

If they act all nice at first and even save you up a chair

What do they want

This is a trick, this is a trap

I can't go on, hide in the bathroom ‘till they're gone

No way someone would actually want me

I was torn down in the 7th grade

All the things people used to say

It stuck in my mind now it'll come for me

My heart used to beat until the 7th grade

It's getting hard to even say anything

It stuck in my mind now it'll come for me

And now I know to feel well it's okay

I've heard the words, won't take them to my grave

I was torn down in the 7th grade

All the things people used to say

It stuck in my mind now it'll come for me

My heart used to beat until the 7th grade

It's getting hard to even say anything

It stuck in my mind now it'll come for me

I was torn down

Torn down, torn down, torn down, torn down

I was torn down

Torn down, torn down, torn down, torn down

I was torn down in the 7th grade
