Thought when I grew up
I would be the same as the ones who gave me my last name
I would not give in, I would not partake
In the same old drugs everyone else takes

I'm better than that, I'm better than that
I'm living my life, so I go to heaven and never come back
But look where I'm at, look where I'm at
I'm living the life that I said I wouldn't, I wanna go back

I used to call my mom every Sunday
So she knew her love wasn't far away
But now I'm all fucked up out in Los Angeles
'Cause I care more about what other people say
I used to not take chances with God's name
But it's been so long since I last prayed

And now I'm all fucked up and my heart's changed
'Cause I care more about what other people say
'Cause I care more about what other people say

I wish I could shelter the boy I knew
From the constant hell I put him through
'Cause I'm all grown up and I'm black and blue
I could use some tape, I could use some glue

I'm better than that, I'm better than that
I should be living my life, so I go to heaven and never come back

I used to call my mom every Sunday
So she knew her love wasn't far away
But now I'm all fucked up out in Los Angeles
'Cause I care more about what other people say
I used to not take chances with God's name
But it's been so long since I last prayed

And now I'm all fucked up and my heart's changed
'Cause I care more about what other people say
'Cause I care more about what other people say

Thought when I grew up
I would be the same as the ones who gave me my last name

I used to call my mom every Sunday
So she knew her love wasn't far away
(Far away)
But now I'm all fucked up out in Los Angeles
(Out in Los Angeles)
'Cause I care more about what other people say
I used to not take chances with God's name
(God's name)
But it's been so long since I last prayed
(Since I last prayed)

And now I'm all fucked up and my heart's changed
(And my heart changed)
'Cause I care more about what other people say
(What other people say)
'Cause I care more about what other people say
