Cold War Kids
"Sensitive Kid"

I tried being sweet
It's buried deep in me
Now I can only see red on red
My mom's going out with my best friend's dad
She's talking loud I can't believe what she said

A sensitive kid
A sensitive kid

They sold the house, left photo albums there
No silver ware while paper walls were bare
I called all my friends, "Come over! Come one, come all!"
"Let's get a crowd here for one last Hoorah!"

A sensitive kid
A sensitive kid
Who made me?
A sensitive kid
A sensitive kid

The message was bleak, my brother pounded it in me
You climb it up or you cut it down
This is your family tree
I know you were born with a heart of gold
But, I want a purple heart that cannot dissolve

A sensitive kid
A sensitive kid
Don't call me!
A sensitive kid
A sensitive kid

I can't tell you why you shoulda known it
Sensitive kids start acting like a grownup
I can't tell you why you shoulda known it
Sensitive kids start acting like a grownup
I can't tell you why you shoulda known it
Sensitive kids start acting like a grownup
I can't tell you why you shoulda known it
Sensitive kids start acting like a grownup
