Kids (Don’t End Up Like Me) (Acoustic) Lyrics by The Academic

0

[Verse 1]
Call up my dad 'cause I'm a failure
Anything that I can do, I'll just do it later
Kids, don't you end up like me
Tell the world that I'm going down
Seven feet under, I won't make a sound
I need to find my way in life
[Pre-Chorus]
Anything I have just runs and goes
And when I say I shine, I barely glow
I don't know when I'm meant to go away
[Chorus]
It's a shame, it's a shame
You don't really wanna know my name
Who's to blame? Who's to blame?
You don't really wanna know my name
(Know my name)
[Verse 2]
Tell all your friends that you made a mistake
One year forward, I'm probably late
But I need to feel your hands in mine
I know I gave off the wrong impression
But trust me, darling, I've lеarnt my lesson
I want to walk with you in the sand
[Pre-Chorus]
Anything I have just runs and goеs
And when I say I shine, I barely glow
I don't know when I'm meant to go away
[Chorus]
It's a shame, it's a shame
You don't really wanna know my name
Who's to blame? Who's to blame?
You don't really wanna know my name
[Bridge]
I don't wanna drive with the wind in my hair
I don't wanna live without a care
I wanna walk the inbetween
The time for empathy has long gone
But you'll probably find it when you listen to this song
I don't know what's right and what it's wrong
[Chorus]
Hear me out, hear me out
You don't really wanna know my name
Who's to blame? Who's to blame?
You don't really wanna know my name
It's a shame, it's such a shame
But you don't really wanna know my name
Know my name, know my name
You don't really wanna know my name
