2, 3, 4! I remember the first time my heart fell apart I remember when the cutting started I remember the music that saved my life I remember the night that the music died I remember the guns and the knives I remember the tears and the cries I remember the time that my dad said to me, "Son, I'm disappointed. You're not who I wanted you to be." Well, I was sixteen And I was living the dream Engulfed in the emotional scene I was sixteen Dressed like it was Halloween Ready to take the world down with me I remember the girl who became my world We watched the stars on the lake while we twirled I remember when she told me she'd been cheating She never loved me, why did I ever believe? I wrote the lyrics that f**ing described And I punched a hole in the wall straight through it
And I screamed the words that k** me sometimes And I hate the world, these stars will never be mine Well, I was sixteen And I was living the dream Engulfed in the emotional scene I was sixteen Dressed like it was Halloween Ready to take the world down with me I will fight it I won't deny it Stick my fingers up and tell them to f** themselves I'll win this There's no denying I'm f**ing sick of crying I was sixteen And life was a nightmare I don't think I've ever felt so scared I was sixteen And nothing was fair I don't give a f**, no I don't care Well, I was sixteen And I was living the dream Engulfed in the emotional scene I was sixteen Dressed like it was Halloween Ready to take the world down with me I was sixteen And I was living the dream
