But I blew it without even tryin' Since you've been gone it's hard to carry on on I had nothing to do on on this hot afternoon But to settle down and write write you a line I've been meaning to phone you but from Minnesota Hell it's been a very long time You wear it

Hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah 'Cause growing pains are keeping me me up at night And I guess the bad can get better Gotta be wrong before it's right Every happy phrase engraved in my mind There's truth in every word I write write But still the growing pains, growing

Yeah, yo I'm just gonna write write down my first thoughts And see where this takes me me, 'Cause I feel like I wanna punch the world in the fuckin' face right now Yeah, let me me explain just how to make greatness Straight out the gate, I'm 'bout to break you down

I'm a criminal! 'Cause every time I write write a rhyme These people think it's a crime To tell 'em what's on on my mind I guess I'm a criminal! I don't gotta say a word I just flip 'em the bird and keep goin' I don't take shit from no one

There is fiction in the space between Sometimes a lie is the best thing The lines on on your page of memories Write Write it down but it doesn't mean You're not just telling stories You and reality You will do and say anything To make your everyday life

Still I choke on on her lies I wish I was free of this Still I feel my strength hurt To pick, hold my head high I rewrite my song I see her in my dreams Wish that she wasn't there But she still haunts me me and I

I'm gonna sit right down and write write myself a letter I'll be glad I got 'em And make believe it came from you I'm gonna write write words, oh, so sweet They're gonna knock me me off my feet A lotta kisses at the bottom I'm gonna smile and say I hope you're feeling

I'm gonna sit right down and write write myself a letter I'll be glad I got 'em And make believe it came from you I'm gonna write write words, oh, so sweet They're gonna knock me me off my feet A lotta kisses at the bottom I'm gonna smile and say I hope you're feeling

Do not obey Never one to be held back or held down I'd write write my name so the king could see I will follow the true declaration And find some hope in what mankind could be I've worked so hard Let my deeds be my witness And let my words flow through

'Cause I’ve got a jet black heart And there’s a hurricane underneath it Trying to keep us apart I write write with a poison pen But these chemicals moving between us Are the reason to start again But now that I’m broken Caught up in a moment Can you see inside?
