Devin Ian Schramm - The Broken Child (Outtake) Lyrics

When I was growing up, no one really liked me
Just a quiet kid, usually in the backseat
Just a little shy boy who wanted some attention
But being a burden was never part of my intentions
So I got used to being teased by all my classmates
Being special-ed I was forced to deal with all the hate
Always got blamed for things that I didn't do
Turned in my homework three days after it was due
Oh, how I wish that I could have a second chance
Be a normal person, have a date to every dance
Cause now I'm living such a lonely life, full of pain and full of strife
I'm losing touch with all the people that I care about
Nobody even seems to care about my whereabouts
So now I'm trying to get back to my good life
One day I hope to have children and even a wife
Got called names on my first day of junior high
Got so mad I drew a knife on a guy
Three days of ISS, goddammit it, it was torture
Stuck inside a black box, sitting in the corner
You'll never know what it's like to walk a mile in my shoes
Nobody was sorry for me, so I had to pay the dues
Talked about my dreams, and they all said I was crazy
That all I'd ever amount to is loneliness and lazy
Sometimes I feel like the world is out to get me
Trying to stop me from becoming the me that I wanna be, yeah
Oh, how I wish that I could have a second chance
Be a normal person, have a date to every dance
Every dance
