Problem Child Lyrics by Simple Plan

Taking One for the Team

2016

[Verse 1]
Here we are again, awake at five AM
I didn't mean a word I said
Can we just pretend I can take it back?
Change the way the story ends
I remember when things were simple then
It didn't always hurt this way
I would fall asleep, you would carry me
You would take my fears away

[Pre-Chorus]
Am I messed up, forever flawed?
Beyond repair, but forever yours?

[Chorus]
All my life
All I ever did was try and try
I never meant to be your problem child
Your problem child, yeah
I don't know why
I always found a way to make you cry
I never meant to be your problem child
Your problem child, yeah

[Verse 2]
When you look at me, I wonder if you see
All the things you thought I could be
Or all the crazy nights, all the stupid fights
All the tears that filled our eyes

[Pre-Chorus]
Am I messed up, forever flawed?
Beyond repair, but forever yours?

[Chorus]
All my life
All I ever did was try and try
I never meant to be your problem child
Your problem child, yeah
I don't know why
I always found a way to make you cry
I never meant to be your problem child
Your problem child, yeah

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
All my life
All I ever did was try and try
I never meant to be your problem child
Your problem child, yeah
I don't know why
I always found a way to make you cry
I never meant to be your problem child
Your problem child, yeah

[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Your problem child
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Your problem child
Yeah
