Don't laugh at me, it's making me cry I know I shouldn't care about it but it hurts me inside Don't laugh at me, it's making me cry I know I shouldn't care about it ('bout it, 'bout it...) Everyday in school was a war Judged and sentenced for what I wore Insecurity and hatred was the law From the benches, the trenches, to the corridor First year, I ran the gauntlet Second year, you the one we taunted Third year, they laughed and pointed And I never said none but I swear I wanted Don't laugh at me, it's making me cry I know I shouldn't care about it but it hurts me inside Don't laugh at me it's making me cry I know I shouldn't care about it but it hurts me inside I've found so many answers but I still have no questions My feet are feeling tired but my legs they are restless I'm eating and I'm chewing but I just can't digest it I'm playing 'round with things I know I just shouldn't mess with I'm a homesick dude who can't deal with domestic Situations getting thin but still I keep stretchin' out In hopes of one day landin' in some place Where I can park my hat and deal with the mundane I hit so many bumps my shock absorbers they must be enormous Every chance I get I floor it Still I'm moving like a tortoise Shit is getting too retarded Harder to breathe, I know it's gonna work out But maybe I'm just being naïve Don't laugh at me, it's making me cry I know I shouldn't care about it but it hurts me inside Don't laugh at me, it's making me cry I know I shouldn't care about it but it hurts me inside Sometimes she's so naïve, gets upset about everyday stuff I say that's the way of the world, believe me I'm callin' their bluff But I'm gettin' old, I feel jaded, you still got heart and I love it Seems like my vision has faded, choked by the biz and the budget And I don't wanna be bitter at thirty you know Holding on's way better than letting it go And it seems way better just letting you know Ain't no inspiration bigger than this anymore Let me be who I wanna be Let me be who I am, let me be naïve Let me be who I wanna be Let me be who I am, let me be naïve Don't laugh at me, it's making me cry I know I shouldn't care about it but it hurts me inside Don't laugh at me, it's making me cry I know I shouldn't care about it but it hurts me inside Don't laugh at me, it's making me cry I know I shouldn't care about it but it hurts me inside Don't laugh at me, it's making me cry I know I shouldn't care about it but it hurts me inside Don't laugh at me, it's making me cry I know I shouldn't care about it but it hurts me inside Don't laugh at me, it's making me cry I know I shouldn't care about it ('bout it, 'bout it...)
