Songfic to "Who Am I" by A New Found Glory
Don't say it'll stay this way forever
My parents are dead, my brother's missing and my girlfriend cheated on me.
I'm afloat in the ocean trying not to sink
I'm a crack in the asphalt you walk by on the street
I'm a falling star you'll never see
I'm the lash in your eye, the I in team
I guess I'm just invisible. My soul is invisible at least. No one has come up to me and asked if I was okay. Darry even asked me if Sandy was okay. Sandy? Of course she's okay, she had two different boyfriends. She has parents who love her and aren't dead. She has an 11th grade education. She was happy until she got knocked up.
So who am I?
I'm a teenage dropout who has a crappy job, no parents, a skanky ex-girlfriend, and a missing brother. Yeah, my life rocks.
Don't say it'll stay this way forever
Don't say it'll stay this way forever
I'm the lesson you'll never learn
The sickness that was never your concern
I'm the big surprise at the end of the night
The bridge in the gap
The corner of your mind.
I don't drink, but maybe just one will calm me down. It works for Two-Bit. Just one, no more than one. It'll stop me from crying. I refuse to cry, I'm a man. Dad always taught me that a man doesn't cry. A man has to stay strong for those who can't.
So who am I?
Don't say it'll stay this way forever
Don't say it'll stay this way forever
I'm holding on
Yeas I am
Careful what I wish for
I wanted my brothers to stop fighting, and I got this.
I am the knot in your stomach
The phlegm in your throat
The message saying you're not home
Everyone thinks I'm dumb. I'm not dumb, but I am alone in this world. My brothers don't get me. The only three people in this world who have ever understood me are my mom, Steve, and Sandy. Only one was currently available. But I can't spill my guts to Steve, he's a guy. I can't do that to either of us.
Don't say it'll stay this way forever
Don't stay it'll stay this way forever
I'm afloat in the ocean trying not to sink
