Need more friends with wings

All the angels I know

Put concrete in my veins

I'd always walk home alone

So I became lifeless

Just like my telephone

There's nothing to lose

When no one knows your name

There's nothing to gain

But the days don't seem to change

Never played truth or dare

I'd have to check my mirror

To see if I'm still here

My parents had no clue

That I ate all my lunches

Alone in the bathroom

There's nothing to lose

When no one knows your name

There's nothing to gain

But the days don't seem to change

There's nothing to lose

My notebook will explain

There's nothing to gain

And I can't fight the pain

Teach us that it's just a phase

When I grow up my children

Will probably do the same

Kids just love to tease

I know it put me under ground

At seventeen

There's nothing to lose

When no one knows your name

There's nothing to gain

But the days don't seem to change

There's nothing to lose

My notebook will explain

There's nothing to gain

And I can't fight the pain

There's nothing to lose

When no one knows your name

There's nothing to gain

But the days don't seem to change

There's nothing to lose

When no one knows your name

There's nothing to gain

And I just died today

Need more friends with wings

All the angels I know

Put concrete in my veins

I'd always walk home alone

So I became lifeless

Just like my telephone

There's nothing to lose

When no one knows your name

There's nothing to gain

But the days don't seem to change

Never played truth or dare

I'd have to check my mirror

To see if I'm still here

My parents had no clue

That I ate all my lunches

Alone in the bathroom

There's nothing to lose

When no one knows your name

There's nothing to gain

But the days don't seem to change

There's nothing to lose

My notebook will explain

There's nothing to gain

And I can't fight the pain

Teach us that it's just a phase

There's nothing to gain

And I can't fight the pain

There's nothing to lose

When no one knows your name

There's nothing to gain

But the days don't seem to change

There's nothing to lose

When no one knows your name

There's nothing to gain

And I just died today
