Never Shout Never - The Past lyrics

rate me

<br>

And I sing songs about the past.<br />

How I was raised and I was thrown out on my ass,<br />

Cause I didn't care.<br />

About going to school.<br />

<br />

And I saw the look in her eyes.<br />

My mother nearly cried when I had told her that I had wanted to go,<br />

Just to prove them wrong.<br />

<br />

I've been smoking cigarettes since I was only fourteen,<br />

Just to find an escape from this town that was so mean to me.<br />

<br />

And I sing songs about my friends.<br />

The way we grew up, and all the lose ends we used to laugh,<br />

Cause we didn't give a damn.<br />

<br />

And I saw the look in my brother's eyes,<br />

When I told him I was leaving he couldn't help but despise me.<br />

He's wanted out his whole life.<br />

<br />

I've been smoking the green since I was merely sixteen,<br />

Just to find an escape from this town that was so mean to me.<br />

<br />

And I sing songs about the past.<br />

<br />

I plead for relief,<br />

This town won't receive<br />

All the things that I want.<br />

The things that I need.<br />

<br />

And I'll beg and I'll beg.<br />

I'm down on my knees.<br />

Mama, oh mama,<br />

Let me please leave<br />

<br />

I plead for relief.<br />

This town won't receive,<br />

All the things that I want.<br />

The things that I need.<br />

<br />

All I ever wanted was love.

<br><br><br><br>
