Thirteen Lyrics by Tom Goss

What Doesn’t Break

2016

When I was 12 years old
I broke into the grade school
We sat there drinking orange juice

When I was 13
Railroad rocks were my friends
Many pigeons met their end

But that don’t mean I’m the same guy
That don’t mean you should go searching through these eyes
For all the wrongs I spend my time
Wading through before I reached a better life

When I was 14
I got expelled from 9th grade
Football couldn’t control my rage

When I was 15
I chased you down 8th street
Landing the blows of my dreams

But that don’t mean I’m the same guy
That don’t mean you should go searching through these eyes
For all the wrongs I spend my time
Wading through before I reached a better life

Brake

But that don’t mean I’m the same guy
That don’t mean you should go searching through these eyes
For all the wrongs I spend my time
Wading through before I reached a better life

But that don’t mean I’m the same guy
That don’t mean you should go searching through these eyes
It’s all those wrongs that made my life
Better off now that I've finally found my right
