The Past

And I sing songs about the past.
How I was raised and I was thrown out on my ass,
Cause I didn't care.
About going to school.

And I saw the look in her eyes.
My mother nearly cried when I had told her that I had 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 my friends.
The way we grew up, and all the lose 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 sixteen,
Just to find an escape from this town that was so mean to me.

And I sing songs about the past.

I plead for relief,
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 plead for relief.
This town won't receive,
All the things that I want.
The things that I need.

All I ever wanted was love.

El Pasado

Y yo canto canciones sobre el pasado
Como fui criado y como fui tirado a la calle,
Por que no me importo
Ir a la escuela

Y yo vi la mirada en sus ojos
Mi madre casi llora cuando le dije que me tenia que ir
Solo para demostrar que están equivocados

He fumado cigarrillos desde que tenia solo catorce,
Solo para encontrar un escape a esta cuidad que ha sido tan mala conmigo

Y yo canto canciones sobre mis amigos
La manera en que crecimos, y de todos los cabos sueltos de los que nos reíamos
Por que no nos importaba nada.

Y vi la mirada en los ojos de mi hermano
Cuando le conté que me iba,no me pudo ayudar pero me desprecio
El me quería fuera toda su vida.

He fumado el verde desde que solo tenia dieciseis años,
Solo para encontrar un escape de esta ciudad que ha sido tan mala conmigo

Y canto canciones sobre el pasado

Ruego por alivio
Esta ciudad no recibirá
Todas las cosas que quiero
Las cosas que yo necesito

Y rogare y rogare
Estoy sobre mis rodillas
Mama, oh mama
Déjeme ir por favor

Ruego por alivio
Esta ciudad no recibirá
Todas las cosas que quiero
Las cosas que yo necesito

Todo lo que siempre quise fue amor
