I'm Just a Kid
Simple Plan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I waited 'til eleven
Just to figure out that no one would call
I think I've got a lot of friends
But I don't hear from them
What's another night all alone
When you're spending every day on your own
And here it goes
I'm just a kid
And life is a nightmare
I'm just a kid
I know that it's not fair
Nobody cares 'cause I'm alone and the world is
Having more fun than me
Tonight
And maybe when the night is dead
I'll crawl into my bed
I'm staring at these four walls again
I'll try to think about the last time
I had a good time
Everyone's got somewhere to go
And they're gonna leave me here on my own
And here it goes
I'm just a kid
And life is a nightmare
I'm just a kid
I know that it's not fair
Nobody cares 'cause I'm alone and the world is
Having more fun than me
What the hell is wrong with me
Don't fit in with anybody
How did this happen to me?
Wide awake I'm bored
And I can't fall asleep
And every night is the worst night ever
I'm just a kid
I'm just a kid
I'm just a kid (I'm just a kid)
Yeah, I'm just a kid (I'm just a kid, yeah, I'm just a kid)
Yeah, I'm just a kid (I'm just a kid, yeah, I'm just a kid)
I'm just a kid
And life is a nightmare
I'm just a kid
I know that it's not fair
Nobody cares 'cause I'm alone and the world is
Nobody wants to be alone in the world
I'm just a kid
And life is a nightmare
I'm just a kid
I know that it's not fair
Nobody cares 'cause I'm alone and the world is
Nobody wants to be alone in the world
Nobody cares 'cause I'm alone and the world is
Having more fun than me
Tonight
I'm all alone
Tonight
Nobody cares
Tonight
'Cause I'm just a kid tonight

Line by Line Meaning
I woke up it was seven
I started my day early
I waited 'til eleven
I waited for four hours to receive calls from my friends
Just to figure out that no one would call
I realized that my friends didn't want to talk to me
I think I've got a lot of friends
I believe I have many friends
But I don't hear from them
I rarely receive any news from them
What's another night all alone
Spending a night alone again
When you're spending every day on your own
Spending every day without company
And here it goes
Here I am at this place again
I'm just a kid
I'm young and inexperienced
And life is a nightmare
Life is unpleasant and full of unpleasant experiences
I know that it's not fair
I understand that life is not fair
Nobody cares 'cause I'm alone and the world is
Nobody cares about me because I'm alone while the rest of the world enjoys life
Having more fun than me
Having more enjoyable experiences than me
And maybe when the night is dead
Late at night when everything is quiet
I'll crawl into my bed
I'll go back to bed
I'm staring at these four walls again
I'm inside my room with nothing to do
I'll try to think about the last time
I'll try to remember the last time I had fun
I had a good time
I enjoyed myself
Everyone's got somewhere to go
Everyone has plans except for me
And they're gonna leave me here on my own
They will leave me alone
What the hell is wrong with me
What is my problem
Don't fit in with anybody
I don't belong or fit in with anyone
How did this happen to me?
I'm questioning how I ended up like this
Wide awake I'm bored
I'm still awake and have nothing to do
And I can't fall asleep
I'm unable to sleep
And every night is the worst night ever
Every night is a terrible experience for me
Nobody wants to be alone in the world
Being alone in the world isn't something anyone would want
Tonight I'm all alone
Tonight I don't have anyone to keep me company
Nobody cares tonight
Nobody cares about me tonight
'Cause I'm just a kid tonight
Because I'm still young and inexperienced tonight
