I grew up in a small house
Near a cemetery, you could hear them howl
As they lower the ones they love
I pulled out my own baby teeth
The pain never seemed to bother me
I made friends with the kids down the street
I better go, it's gettin' late
I've been outside all day
On the walk home, work out what I'll say
And I still lose it every now and then
In an interview or a photoshoot
I could be halfway through a show
and it all comes creepin' in
And I've sacrificed all my friends
Birthdays, weddings, everything
And it's heartbreaking but this is my dream
And I did it all without a phone call
Or a Christmas card, you have no heart
This is my way of saying, "Don't start"
And you should see the shows I play
And hear them sing the words I say
I wonder sometimes if you're in the crowd
And I needed help, I needed love
I needed care, I needed a hug
I needed praise, I needed time with you
All the time, all the time
I wanna love you, but I need you to try
And I still lose it every now and then
In an interview or a photoshoot
I could be halfway through a show
and it all comes creepin' in
And I've sacrificed all my friends
Birthdays, weddings, everything
And it's heartbreaking but this is my dream
And I did it all without a phone call
Or a Christmas card, you have no heart
This is my way of saying, "Don't start"
