[Verse 1]
Was I ever thirteen, living in my parent's house?
My father drank to wash away his pain
While my mother paced around the bedroom floor
Was I ever fifteen and dreaming of the things I'd do?
My brother lived for huffing gasoline
And my mother would pray until her hands were blue
That it was not true
[Chorus]
Was I ever thirteen?
Was I ever thirteen?
Was I? Was I? Was I?
[Verse 2]
Was I ever sixteen, thinking I'd be beautiful?
The boys were meticulously mean
And I didn't have the wherewithal to find my truth
Was I ever sеventeen, hoping for a tender kiss?
Thеy were never meant for girls like me
I'd lie in bed and dream about the love I'd miss
[Chorus]
Was I ever thirteen?
Was I ever thirteen?
Was I? Was I? Was I?
[Verse 3]
Was I ever eighteen, running through the burning woods?
Living out my immortality and lying to myself about the world I knew
Was I ever nineteen, driving 'round with one headlight?
Looking for the happiness I'd seen in a movie somewhere on a Friday night
On a Friday night
[Chorus]
Was I ever thirteen?
Was I ever thirteen?
Was I? Was I? Was I? (Oh)
Was I ever thirteen?
Was I ever thirteen?
Was I? Was I? Was I?
Was I ever thirteen?
Was I ever thirteen?
Was I? Was I? Was I? (Oh)
[Outro]
Was I ever thirteen?
Was I ever thirteen?
Was—
Was I ever thirteen, living in my parent's house?
My father drank to wash away his pain
While my mother paced around the bedroom floor
Was I ever fifteen and dreaming of the things I'd do?
My brother lived for huffing gasoline
And my mother would pray until her hands were blue
That it was not true
[Chorus]
Was I ever thirteen?
Was I ever thirteen?
Was I? Was I? Was I?
