lyrics

I'm not a quiet kid
You're just an idiot
Please tell me that I'm weird and I'll tell you that I agree with it
It's not that I have nothing to say
You might as well be deaf
Small talk is my personal hell, your time isn't worth my breath

From the back of class I watch, as the jokers make their jokes
Talking out of line while the fools just take their notes
I'll just sit here til the bell, I've got better things to do
They're all safe inside my head, safe away from all of you

I'm not a quiet kid
I could talk for hours if
I thought anybody cared, even just the slightest bit
It's not that I have nothing to say
You just wouldn't care at all
What goes on inside my head should put me between padded walls

The girls goes by in their low cut shirts and I just watch here from the wall
I have no idea why I'm here, this party wasn't worth the walk
I'll just stand here with my drink, this shitty music's way to loud
I can still hear myself think and that's all I care about

I'm not a quiet kid
You're just an idiot
The time that I spend all alone, you're damn right I cherish it
It's nothing really personal
And I don't mean to offend
The words that come out of your mouth, just can't fit inside my head

I don't care about your weekend, I don't care about your wife
I don't care about your huge exams, I don't live your life
I don't care about the weather, I don't care about your mom
I don't care about the girls at work, I don't care if you all drown

I'm no psychiatrist
But I'll listen if you insist
I won't tell you I don't care but in my head I'm thinking it
I don't care about your baseball team, I don't care about your kids
Oh just stop I beg you please, can you hear me? read my lips

I'm not a quiet kid
You're just an idiot
Please tell me that I'm weird and I'll tell you that I agree with it
It's not that I have nothing to say
You might as well be deaf
Small talk is my personal hell, your time isn't worth my breath
