(Forever's not) Thirteen

I'm crying for you. You're just thirteen.
The saddest thing I've ever seen
Is someone as beautiful as you
Going through the things that you went through

It's not easy growing up so fast.
And it's easy for them to say it'll pass.
But I know that that's not really fair
Cause 20 years ago I was right there.

Chorus I: And I remember everything
All those broken hearts and dancing queens
And how everybody was just so mean
But hang on child cause forever's not thirteen.

There's a razor blade and a Dixie cup
So drink it down roll your shirtsleeves up.
The pain's the only thing you feel
It's the one thing left that you know is real.

It's not easy when they turn their backs
And it's easy for them to say, "Just relax,
It'll be alright." But you know it won't.
And when they say they understand they don't.

Chorus II: Cause I remember everything
All those broken hearts and dancing queens
And how everything made you want to scream
But hang on child cause forever's not thirteen

Bridge: You're driving a hundred miles an hour straight into a wall
When you're broken and you're bleeding tell me who you Think you're gonna call?
You might think I don't know shit but baby I've been through it all

Chorus I and Chorus II
