Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You're not the same anymore
Don't wanna play that game anymore
You'd make a better window than a door
[Verse 2]
Oh, the strangers, they implore
It gets so easy to ignore
Just like the girl next door
[Chorus]
Uncle's house, it was noon
Sorry, boy, I can't employ ya
You are strange, but I like you
Sorry, this is overdue
I promised I would do it right
Her and a boy on a Saturday night
[Verse 3]
And now the door slams shut
A child prisoner grows up
To seek his enemy's throat cut
I'm on and on it, on and on and on it
We're on the way, fuel the jet
Can see that what he wants, he gets
What does your sworn enemy regret?
[Chorus]
I didn't know, I didn't care
I don't even understand
Did somethin' wrong, I wasn't sure
Stay on top of this, or else
I was afraid, I fucked up
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I couldn't change, it's too late
[Verse 4]
And now it's time to show up
Late again, I can't grow up
And now it's on me, they've given up
[Chorus]
Uncle's house, I forget
Violent tendencies I get
Your timing sucks, she went overboard
Don't forget, you are insured
I didn't know, I wasn't sure
Can't remember all that well
I couldn't change, was too late
Yeah, yeah, yeah
