[Chorus]
I was tCorn down in the 7th grade
AAmll the things people used to say
It stEmuck in my mind, now it'll come for me
My heart uCsed to beat until the 7th grade
IAmt's getting hard to even say anything
It Emstuck in my mind, now it'll come for me
[Verse 1]
CI hate words sometimes
They're so powerful but not miAmne
When I try to talk I say I'm fine
No one ever really knows I'm lyEming
Sitting in the classroom's worse than cryin'
Try to hide it, my face is burning up
Teacher says "no test today," I act excited
TChat's what everyone else is doing
I gotta get through it
Hold my peAmncil in my hand so tight I think I'll get some bruises
I'm that cluEmeless, I'm that clueless
They always say not to talk down on myself, but that's what everyone else is doing
TChat's what everyone else is doing
I gotta get through it
Hold my penAmcil in my hand so tight I think I'll get some bruises
           Em*
I'm not clueless
I don't think so, at least
But why can't I figure out why peoCple that are soft someEmtimes act like beaCsts?
[Chorus]
I was toCrn down in the 7th grade
AAmll the things people used to say
It stEmuck in my mind, now it'll come for me
My heart usCed to beat until the 7th grade
IAmt's getting hard to even say anything
It Emstuck in my mind, now it'll come for me
[Verse 2]
CSo many stories, but people still think they're aloAmne
Every eyeball staring at them's another crack to the boEmne
And every heart it rejects, all day they wanna go home
And when they do, they just start crying from the jokes that were told
HoCw do these people that don't know me hurt me so bad?
AmI might just be too sensitive, why am I always so sad?
But all Emday I hide my sadness way deep down inside my heart
And if I show it to anybody, they would rip it all apart
NCo, we're not paranoid, just grown to be aware
If they Amact all nice at first and even save you up a chair
What do they waEmnt? This is a trick, this is a trap
I can't go on, hide in the bathroom till they're gone
No way someone would actually want mCe
[Chorus]
I was toCrn down in the 7th grade
AAmll the things people used to say
It stEmuck in my mind, now it'll come for me
My heart usCed to beat until the 7th grade
IAmt's getting hard to even say anything
It Emstuck in my mind, now it'll come for me
[Bridge]
I was toCrn down, torn dAmown, torn doEmwn, torn down, torn down
     Am*           Bm*              G*
And now I know to feel, well it's okay
                           Am                 Em  G*
I've heard the words, won't take them to my grave
[Chorus]
       C*
I was torn down in the 7th grade
Am*                    Em*
All the things people used to say
It stuck in my mind, now it'll come for me
My heart uCsed to beat until the 7th grade
IAmt's getting hard to even say anything
IEmt stuck in my mind, now it'll come for me
[Outro]
I was toCrn down, torn dAmown, torn doEmwn, torn down, torn down
I was toCrn down, torn dAmown, torn doEmwn, torn down, torn
     C*
I was torn down in the 7th grade

[Chorus]

I was torn down in the 7th grade

All the things people used to say

It stuck in my mind, now it'll come for me

My heart used to beat until the 7th grade

It's getting hard to even say anything

It stuck in my mind, now it'll come for me

[Verse 1]

I hate words sometimes

They're so powerful but not mine

When I try to talk I say I'm fine

No one ever really knows I'm lying

Sitting in the classroom's worse than cryin'

Try to hide it, my face is burning up

Teacher says "no test today," I act excited

That's what everyone else is doing

I gotta get through it

Hold my pencil in my hand so tight I think I'll get some bruises

I'm that clueless, I'm that clueless

They always say not to talk down on myself, but that's what everyone else is doing

That's what everyone else is doing

I gotta get through it

Hold my pencil in my hand so tight I think I'll get some bruises

I'm not clueless

I don't think so, at least

C Em C

But why can't I figure out why people that are soft sometimes act like beasts?

[Chorus]

I was torn down in the 7th grade

All the things people used to say

It stuck in my mind, now it'll come for me

My heart used to beat until the 7th grade

It's getting hard to even say anything

It stuck in my mind, now it'll come for me

[Verse 2]

C Am

So many stories, but people still think they're alone

Every eyeball staring at them's another crack to the bone

And every heart it rejects, all day they wanna go home

And when they do, they just start crying from the jokes that were told

How do these people that don't know me hurt me so bad?

I might just be too sensitive, why am I always so sad?

But all day I hide my sadness way deep down inside my heart

And if I show it to anybody, they would rip it all apart

No, we're not paranoid, just grown to be aware

If they act all nice at first and even save you up a chair

What do they want? This is a trick, this is a trap

I can't go on, hide in the bathroom till they're gone

No way someone would actually want me

[Chorus]

I was torn down in the 7th grade

All the things people used to say

It stuck in my mind, now it'll come for me

My heart used to beat until the 7th grade

It's getting hard to even say anything

It stuck in my mind, now it'll come for me

[Bridge]

C Am Em

I was torn down, torn down, torn down, torn down, torn down

Am Bm G

* * *

And now I know to feel, well it's okay

Am Em G

I've heard the words, won't take them to my grave

[Chorus]

I was torn down in the 7th grade

Am Em

All the things people used to say

It stuck in my mind, now it'll come for me

My heart used to beat until the 7th grade

It's getting hard to even say anything

It stuck in my mind, now it'll come for me

[Outro]

C Am Em

I was torn down, torn down, torn down, torn down, torn down

C Am Em

I was torn down, torn down, torn down, torn down, torn

I was torn down in the 7th grade
