This is where I often drown...: Before I die,

Before I die, I wish my parents could understand that when I hang with my guy friends, it doesn't mean we're gonna do something nasty
Before I die, I wish my parents could understand that school is hard and I'm trying my best to make them proud

Before I die, I wish my friends could understand that I don't always have the best attitude
Before I die, I wish my friends could understand that I try to make the best decisions for myself

Before I die, I wish you could understand that I'm not a bad influence
Before I die, I wish you could understand that I feel useless whenever you compare me to other people.
