It’s Christmas eve again,
And my dad’s in the hospital
And I’m failing everything
I’m lying in the street
It’s time to be a man
But I’m so scared
I’m no one on my own
I’m on the rope swing
Back at Pius
With my friends
I fall in love with someone I shouldn’t
It doesn’t mean anything
I’m showing you my favorite thing
You’re my favorite thing now
But you go away
Everyone goes away
But now
I don’t have a favorite thing
Everything is a shadow
Of what it used to be
I’m a shadow of who I want to be
I don’t think I’m going to fall in love anymore
I don’t think I’ll be surprised again
I don’t think it’s going to snow anymore
I don’t know a thing
I say a lot
I try a lot
I give half an effort a lot
But I’m asking
Please
Don’t go
I know I know something
I’m smart
I know it
I know that something means something
I want to be a man
I promise
