What you're about they just don't get
There's so much goin' on in your head
So much you might have said
If they would have listened
And as much as you needed some help
You keep most of your thoughts to yourself
They're gonna try and fix you
But you were never broken
And you know there's nothing left here for you
Their home is not your home
And you're counting down the days
Until you will be on your own

You really have no reason to stay
You're gonna leave this little town soon someday
Free from the footsteps left by your father
Maybe they can't find where you are
They could only take you this far
They're lost in their own world
And don't want to be bothered
And you know there's nothing left here for you
Their home is not your home
And you're counting down the days until you will
The days until you will
The days until you will be on your own

You're the story they never read
From that book that remains on their shelf
After all these years
Never opened
Never opened
