I woke up it was 7 I waited 'til 11 To figure out that no one would call I think I got a lot of friends But I don't hear from them What's another night all alone When you're spending every day on your own And here it goes I'm just a kid And life is a nightmare I'm just a kid I know that it's not fair Nobody cares 'cause I'm alone And the world is Having more fun then me Tonight And maybe when the night is dead I'll crawl into my bed I'm staring at these four walls again I'll try to think about the last time I had a good time Everyone's got somewhere to go And they're gonna leave me here on my own And here it goes I'm just a kid And life is a nightmare I'm just a kid I know that it's not fair Nobody cares 'Cause I'm alone and the world is Having more fun than me What the hell is wrong with me Don't fit in with anybody How did this happen to me? Wide awake I'm bored and I can't fall asleep And every night is the worst night ever I'm just a kid I'm just a kid I'm just a kid (I'm just a kid) Yeah, I'm just a kid (I'm just a kid) I'm just a kid (I'm just a kid) I'm just a kid And life is a nightmare I'm just a kid I know that its not fair Nobody cares 'Cause I'm alone and the world is Nobody wants to be alone in the world I'm just a kid And all life is a nightmare I'm just a kid I know that its not fair Nobody cares 'cause I'm alone and the world is Nobody wants to be alone in the world Nobody cares 'cause I'm alone And the world is Having more fun than me Tonight I'm all alone Tonight Nobody cares Tonight 'Cause I'm just a kid tonight
