I tried to tell them that I wasn't real
Too bad, because they didn't believe me
I would've said that I was somebody's pet
And I would've let them follow me home

Hey, I'm sorry that I left you when you wanted me so
I swear I really wanted to stay
Hey, I'm sorry I just can't give in to tears
I'm sorry I keep running away

Through open windows floats the scent of cigarettes
And I close my eyes, hoping for change
Maybe someone will get me and say it's OK
They can make it so fourteen's not my age

Without looking I can see that the day is late
That my sidewalk's beginning to end
The sky's about to fall, so I better get back to
Someone, somewhere, somewhen

Hey, I'm sorry that I left you when you wanted me so
I swear I really wanted to stay
Hey, I'm sorry I just can't give in to tears
I'm sorry I keep running away

I tried to tell them that I wasn't real
Too bad, because they didn't believe me
I tried to tell them that I couldn't be
I tried to tell them, and failed
