Its Not a Cry for Help Mom Its Who I Am by The Achilles Tendency Lyrics

Got my diploma so it’s time for me to leave
Not some conformist, don’t think college is right for me
I know I love you more than you could ever see
But I’m not good enough for you, I’ll never be

Someday you’re gonna be great and change some lives
And I’ll be sitting in my room and getting high
I know that when I’m with you it makes me try
But I’m scared of this commitment, so long, goodnight

Yeah, but I’m alright
I can quit whenever I want to, it’s fine
Yeah, and it’s alright
I gotta see that you and I aren’t right

Johnny boy how long has it been
Nine, ten years, fifteen, it blows my mind
You never saw the worth in saying goodbye
But it’s cool, good luck, and I’ll still write

Yeah, but I’m alright
I can quit whenever I want to it’s fine
Yeah, and it’s alright
I just gotta see that you and I aren’t right
I know you tried
But I’m a liar it’s my nature
And the drugs stay with me through thick and thin unlike you
And it’s not fair
Cause when I tried to fix myself you left me
But did you ever think that you could fix me?

Yeah, but I’m alright
I can quit whenever I want to it’s fine
Yeah, and it’s alright
I just gotta see that you and I aren’t right
