I pull my hair out

And the new ones grow in gray

I’m almost 16

But you’d swear I was born yesterday

‘Cause to you

I’m still the kid who liked the stars

I’ll buy you flowers

And then watch as they all wilt

I’m overcome

With all this awful, senseless guilt

My two feet

On this world that we call “ours”

Orion

Watch over my foolish head

I was a kid who didn’t know

That I would end up dead

Orion

I knew you had a tale to tell

You should have said

These kinds of stories

Never end up well

I miss my daisies

And my seven-year-old zeal

For years I was convinced

That I just couldn’t feel

If my heart were a cliff

My mind would fall

Orion

Watch over my foolish head

I was a kid who didn’t know

That I would end up dead

Orion

I knew you had a tale to tell

You should have said

These kinds of stories

Never end up well

Orion

Watch over my foolish head

I was a kid who didn’t know

That I would end up dead

Orion

I knew you had a tale to tell

You should have said

These kinds of stories

Never end up well

I’ve always known

That life is better said than done

We think of innocence

As brighter than the sun

And to you

I’m still the kid who liked the stars
