[Lyric] Parents (Mackenzie Shrieve)

[Verse]
I know that it seems like I’m running away
That I’m being somebody else most of the day
I got caught up in trying my best to show off
Trying to convince myself what I want

Sometimes I really have nothing to say
It doesn’t mean that I’m not feeling okay
You’re lying if you say you never feel lost
How should I know what I want

[Chorus]
You don’t know everything
You don’t know what it’s like to be sixteen anymore
You don’t know anything
Give it up
Throw it out

[Verse]
I know you tell me not to care what they think
That being myself is like some special trick
I spend too much time trying my best to show off
You don’t have to tell me the cost
Is New York City too far or not far enough
I dream about meeting a girl and falling in love
Playing my music alone in the parking lot
How would you know what I want

[Chorus]
You don’t know everything
You don’t know what it’s like to be sixteen anymore
You don’t know anything
Give it up
Throw it out
I don’t wanna keep score

I’ve always been right next to you
And you’ve given me everything that I hold on to
But you don’t know everything
You don’t know everything
You don’t know anything
You don’t know anything

[Bridge]
You think you protect me from all of the heartbreak
But I’ll never learn if I don’t make my own mistakes

I’m not going away, going away
We’ll always be us at the end of the day, end of the day
After all of this crying
All of this trying
I can get up when I fall
Up when I fall
You won’t have to worry at all

[Chorus]
You don’t know everything
You don’t know what it’s like to be sixteen anymore
You don’t know anything
Give it up
Throw it out
I don’t wanna keep score

I’ve always been right next to you
And you’ve given me everything that I hold on to
But you don’t know everything
You don’t know everything
You don’t know anything
You don’t know anything
You don't know anything
