I'll never get to know my friend Steven He thought he found an answer He was my friend since kindergarten And then I watched him disappear
I'll never get to know my friend Melisa She had a baby when she was sixteen And now she works in a mall in Florida Sometimes I wonder who she could have been
I'll never get to know my mom's friend Bonnie She's the one who made me want to be an artist She could paint the prettiest pictures Until both her lungs collapsed
I'll never get to know my mom's friend Harry He had a low scratchy growl of a voice He'd sing "make me an angel that flies from Montgomery" And then he drank himself to death
I'll never get to know my sister Because my sister is a crack head But thank God I remember When she was just a little kid
I'll never get to know my dad Because my dad lives in a dream And even though I think he's the best He seems so far from everything
And I'll never get to know my mom Because my mom is an alcoholic And I bet when she was young She never saw it coming
You might wonder why I'm an asshole Or wonder I'm so uptight Or wonder why I don't just chill out And learn how to have a good time But sometimes I'm scared right out of my mind And sometimes I just get angry Because I've been let down by the people that I love But I will not let down the people who love me
