You Don't Know What It's Like - The Early November

See you don’t know what it’s like to be a man in the world

And be scared to lose everything

See you don’t know what its like to build a life from nothing

And be scared to lose everything

I bet that’s not what you said back then

And don’t sing your blues to me

You have no right…

By the time I was old enough to run

Momma couldn’t move and Dad was gone

So she sat me in a room alone to watch TV

By the time I went to school I had no friends

I didn’t even know how to play with kids

They would all run around, and I would just sit alone

And do you know what its like to cry yourself to sleep at night at the age of

six

And seven

And eight

And nine

And ten

And eleven

And twelve
