lyrics

Maybe it's because I grew up way too fast
I always wanted to be accepted by the upper class
Still pretending to like the things I never would
I woulda done anything to blend in with the neighborhood

The last place I thought that I would be
With my head still hanging low is back at home
And the last thing I needed to hear
Were your words I told you so…I told you so

So I headed out of town to run down dreams
Diploma's packed but I wanted different things
Wasn't ready for a normal suburban life
It all seems funny now, how I wanted to impress the world

The last place I thought that I would be
With my head still hanging low is back at home
And the last thing I needed to hear
Were your words I told you so…I told you so

I took a chance
Made mistakes
Tried just like the others did

Can’t you see
This is me
And all I ever wanted was to be accepted
And all I ever wanted was to be successful

The last place I thought that I would be
With my head still hanging low is back at home
And the last thing I needed to hear
Were your words I told you so…I told you so

And the last thing I needed to hear
Were your words I told you so…I told you so
And the last place I thought that I would be
With my head still hanging low was back at home

I'm back at home
