Lyrics

I try being sweet, it's buried deep in me
Now I can only see red on red
My mom's going out with my best friends' dad
She talking loud I can't believe what she said
A sensitive kid
A sensitive kid
They sold the house, left photo albums there
No silverware while paper walls were bare
I called all my friends, ["Come over! Come one, come all! Let's get a crowd here for one last hoorah!"]
A sensitive kid
A sensitive kid
Who made me
The sensitive kid
A sensitive kid
The message was bleak, my brother pounded it in me
You climb it up or you cut it down
This is your family tree
I know you were born with a heart of gold
But I want a purple heart that cannot dissolve
The sensitive kid
A sensitive kid
Don't call me
A sensitive kid
A sensitive kid
I can't tell you why
You should've known it
Sensitive kids
Start acting like a grown up
I can't tell you why
You should've known it
Sensitive kids
Start acting like a grown up
I can't tell you why
You should've known it
Sensitive kids
Start acting like a grown up
I can't tell you why
You should've known it
Sensitive kids
Start acting like a grown up
