Stanzas 1:
I never knew what I was gonna be
Somebody saw what I couldn't see, and lifted me up
Now, I never thought I could be worthy of love,

Chorus:
Souvenir of sadness - method to the madness?
Hands up if you feel this
Anyone who has this
Stand up - nobody's dying to save you
Speak up - nobody's waiting to see you
Wake up - nobody's working to pay you
.....Let me make it clear, you had this:
.....Back then; you're black and blue in the schoolyard
.....Now then; you have grown up to be this hard
.....?
Go then, walk through this world with your heart scarred
- You're the souvenir of sadness

Stanzas 2:
They never knew what I was gonna say
Punch me, and kick me, and run away
...You know who you are
So now, look at me, what do you have to say?
Never cared much for you, anyway
...You know who you are
So now, look at me what do you have to say?
Never cared much for you any... Ill happy childhood backlash
