Messed Up Kid

You and I laugh at the joke

That wasn’t really funny

But I don’t care because you

Because you understand me


But then you suddenly switch up

And you’re a whole new person

And when I think it won’t last

You have left me in the dust


I’m a messed up kid

And you all know it

The way I complain when

Things don’t go my way


Like when you told me

To tie my shoe but didn’t

And then I tripped on it

And then blamed it on you


I’m a messed up kid

How I sing off key

How I can’t stay calm

When you reprehend me


You get mad at the way I talk

The way move

I feel like you get

Mad at everything


And I’ll be the messed up kid

Who can’t do anything right

And when I fall down you walk away

It’s hard to be the messed up kid


You’re words-they have hurt me

Made me think it’s true

That I’m the messed up kid

And that’s all that I am


So now I’m left to wonder

If you ever even cared

About the messed up kid or

maybe our friendship got shallow
