Erase (Just A Kid)

Another song/poem about being the odd one out...always.

Erase (Just A Kid)

Once again I'm alone

In a world of my own

Where I can do whatever I want to

Can't stand another day

Someone make their words go away

'Cause I know I'm not like you

So how can I try to fly

When you keep breaking my wings

So how can I reach for the sky

When you're just not listening

Just because I'm not

Like them, but so what?

So I'm breaking out right now

But I know

I'm gonna make it someday

I'm gonna make it my way

'Cause I'm just a kid out to prove to them

That I can make it too

So go on, just laugh at me

Someday you will be sorry

'Cause I'm just a kid out to prove to myself

But not to people like you

As I erase your words from my memory

Don't ever think of turning back to me

Once again alone I fall

To my knees, hit the ground

Take the beating quietly

And pray that it'll be over soon

So now I shout, hear my call

So the world will hear the sound

Like a lone wolf howling endlessly

Howling at the distant moon

So how can I try to fly

When you pretend I've got nothing to show

So how can I reach for the sky

When you call me stupid, but what do you know?

Just because I'm not

Like them, but so what?

So I'm breaking out right now

But I know

I'm gonna make it someday

I'm gonna make it my way

'Cause I'm just a kid out to prove to them

That I can make it too

So go on, just laugh at me

Someday you will be sorry

'Cause I'm just a kid out to prove to myself

But not to people like you

As I erase your words from my memory

Don't ever think of turning back to me

Now your words don't hurt anymore

No I don't feel a thing

And I will fly on forevermore

So this song I will sing'

And you'll never break my spirit

Though you may break my bones

'Cause I'm more than just another kid

I'm gonna find my own way home

But I know

I'm gonna make it someday

I'm gonna make it my way

'Cause I'm just a kid out to prove to them

That I can make it too

So go on, just laugh at me

Someday you will be sorry

'Cause I'm just a kid out to prove to myself

But not to people like you

As I erase your words from my memory

Don't ever think of turning back to me
