Dear Middle School Me by Thomas Battles Lyrics
(Woah are you me from the future. Yes that is right I’m afraid I some bad news)
First off let me just start off by saying you can forget to football wishes
Because your only gonna grow to be 5 foot 8 inches
And your dreams of making music you can forget that too
Cause you let all the bullshit they said get to you
But it’s ok cause your grown up now and it’s a new day
Your 17 years old and you don’t give a fuck what they say
Cause this your dream that you believe in
Go through the same shit every season
But it doesn’t mean you have to face my inner demons
You know what they say the truth always comes out for a reason
I never thought I would have this conversation with my younger self
I just think it’s better for my mental health
This is not how I wanted it to be
But here it is so dear middle school me
Let me take you back to 6th grade
Before you started the twitch channel and got paid
Before you lied that got laid
Before your personality was starting to fade
The first time you jotted in the pad
You wrote a song for the girl you never had
Going back and looking at it that shit is really bad
But you expressed yourself so I’m glad
You said you liked her pretty blue eyes and her long blond hair
And you said how you two would make a prefect pair
But spoiler alert the love just wasn’t there
After that you didn’t write anymore
Cause you were getting made fun and it made you drop to the floor
How could you let em do it to you
Make fun of a song you pour your heart out onto
But even for the people who gave a damn
You shouldn’t have made a video of you singing it on instagram
I never thought I would have this conversation with my younger self
I just think it’s better for my mental health
This is not how I wanted it to be
But here it is so dear middle school me
You might as well call yourself a quitter
You haven’t tried in school now your grades are in the shitter
And no don’t call yourself a spitter cause you gave up
I’m back now but that’s cause I never give up
So what’s up with it we back now
We don’t back down
Have no fans but still hear a crowd
Alway have my head in the clouds
Can’t hear shit but still here sounds
I walk through all the different towns
Not saying we going places
Cause we still here now
Shows over so I’ll take a bow
I never thought I would have this conversation with my younger self
I just think it’s better for my mental health
This is not how I wanted it to be
But here it is so dear middle school me
Wanna do this for a living you gotta win the race
Shows over so time to pick up the pace
To everybody that thinks I won’t make it your doubt only fuels me
I’m tryna stay as positive as I can be
I always am what I’ll never be
Nowadays the game doesn’t impress me
You got a lock I got a key
I’ve been waiting patiently for a single moment
To go off heavily
Levelly on path to good with a shovel
Dig a hole and rebuttal
No trouble cause it’s all mental
Take it with a griddle on your teeth
Life is complete it’s all in front of you
Ya might think it’s crazy don’t get hazy
Your to damn lazy to not know what’s going on around you
Another path to follow through
And it’s because you trusted yourself
And you are you
(Look don’t be sad it’s the truth we can’t change what we’ve said or done all we can do is look forward)
First off let me just start off by saying you can forget to football wishes
Because your only gonna grow to be 5 foot 8 inches
And your dreams of making music you can forget that too
Cause you let all the bullshit they said get to you
But it’s ok cause your grown up now and it’s a new day
