I woke up it was 7
I waited 'til 11
To figure out that no one would call
I think I 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 then 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)
I'm just a kid (I'm just a kid)

I'm just a kid
And life is a nightmare
I'm just a kid
I know that its 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 all life is a nightmare
I'm just a kid
I know that its 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!

    General Comment:I know teens can relate to this song. But i think this song is also about a manchild, an immature man, who is still acting like a kid, and his friends are more mature and grown up, so he feels alone and left behind.

    General Comment:If someone asked me for my biography. I would give them this song. I fall asleep to this song, and Welcome To My Life, among others every night. When I first found this song I asked myself "Why did someone write a song about me and not tell me?" Every night I wish I don't wake up. This song is me whenever I am not sleeping.

    General Comment:as someone said on another song of theirs, they are not lyrical geniouses. but they DO have a certain bluntness that is refreshing every once in a while.

    General Comment:The lyrics not only relate, but are expressed in a good way so we can not only vent and justify our lives through its meaning, but also so we can sing along with feeling yet happily.

    General Comment:This song sucks, along with the rest of simple plan songs. They are silly hypocrites who reckon they are so hardcore. Someone should give them a slap in the face and wake them up to reality. silly wannabis

    General Comment:this song def relates to a lot of kids. and jst because you don't have anywhere to go one nite doesn't mean you have no friends. it jst means that on that nite you don't have any plans. enjoy your time alone to relect. do something with your time. don't sit around and be bored. life is short. but this song def relates to a lot of ppl. so don't feel alone.
