Country Song Lyrics

I'm keeping my lips shut

I keep on zoning out

Pretending I'm just tired

When I'm foaming at the mouth

And I don't make a move

And I don't take a stand

And I don't make a scene

Because I'm scared

And I don't want to be

'Cause I thought we'd be different

I thought that you and I were gonna be different

But now I'm through being optimistic

So now I'm boarding up the basement door

And I'm not gonna let you in

Give me a battle, give me something

Give me an excuse, I'll do nothing

And I know that's not helping

But I'm selfish and it's lonely

And there's a country song that keeps droning on

About some asshole's idea of America

And I can't take the fear of knowing

This is out there, so I'm running

And I don't want to be

'Cause I thought we'd be different

I thought that you and I were gonna be different

But now I'm through being optimistic

So now I'm boarding up the basement door

And I'm not gonna let you in

And I don't want to be afraid of what's surrounding me

The thunder and the wind have got me hiding in the underneath

And I don't want to be

'Cause I thought we'd be different

I thought that anything might be different

But now I'm through being optimistic

So now I'm boarding up the basement door

And I'm not gonna let you in

'Cause I thought we'd be different

I thought this generation was gonna be different

But now I'm through being unrealistic

So now I'm breaking out of apathy

And I'm not gonna let you win
