Never Shout Never - The Past lyrics

I sing songs about the past And how I was raised and I was thrown out on my a** 'Cause I didn't care about going to school And I saw the look in her eyes My mother nearly cried when I told her that I wanted to go Just to prove them wrong I've been smoking cigarettes since I was only fourteen Just to find an escape from this town that was so mean to me And I sing songs about the friends The way we grew up and all the loose ends we used to laugh 'cause we didn't give a damn And I saw the look in my brother's eyes When I told him I was leaving He couldn't help but despise me He's wanted out his whole life I've been smoking the green since I was merely 16 Just to find an escape from this town that was so mean to me I sing songs about the past I plea for realief this town won't receive All the things that i want the things that i need And i'll beg and i'll beg I'm down on my knees Mama oh mama Let me please leave I plea for realief this town won't receive All the things that i want all the things that i need All i ever wanted was love
