My life in high school was pretty much like this, but the fact of the matter is, I made my own choices, I could have had it differently, I didn't need to be the loner I was.

I'm walking down the street away from all of you
Won't let me in your inner circle
You'd maybe know me if you only took the time
To you I'm just a loser nerd, though

Nothing to do on Friday nights
I sit alone in my bedroom and shut the lights

Coz apathy has made me lose my mind
And frustration just plagues me all the time
And all I ever wanted was someone to turn their head and just say Hi

You don't see me when I am sitting next to you
You look at me, you see right through me
Sometimes I pretend that it's me you're talking to
But I know that it's just a fantasy

Some bullies pick on me again
I really don't care, I just love the attention

Coz apathy has made me lose my mind
And frustration just plagues me all the time
And all I ever wanted was someone to turn their head and just say Hi

Life as a ghost among the living brings me down
How can I make them see that I am real?
I heard that high school is supposed to be the time
When you grow most, but that's not how I feel

I spend my nights with Mom and Dad
If I go numb, I might not feel so f***ing sad

Coz apathy has made me lose my mind
And frustration just plagues me all the time
And all I ever wanted was someone to turn their head and just say Hi
