My parents, oh my dear parents
I haven't told you anything all this time
My parents, oh my dear parents
My middle school, my battle cry
Beneath my classmates' laughter
I hid my scratches
They spat in my face
They loved breaking records
They hit me even harder
They hit me even harder
My parents, oh my dear parents
I haven't told you anything all this time
I was the loser, I was the idiot
I prayed they'd leave me alone
For the whole school I was the target
So I always stayed alone
And it served my sorry face right
And it served my sorry face right
My parents, oh my dear parents
I haven't told you anything all this time
Small needle between my fingers
I mutilated my forearms
The harm I could do myself
My youthful suicidal urges
Today the grass has grown back
Life came to take revenge
Even though the wounds stayed
Etched at the bottom of every page
My middle school, my battle cry
My middle school, my battle cry
My parents, oh my dear parents
Now you know it all
My parents, oh my dear parents
My parents, oh my dear parents
My parents, oh my dear parents
