lyrics

I think I'm normal most the time
Got normal problems on my mind
But sometimes I come home late at night
I see strange men kiss her goodbye

And I can understand the vodka in her hand
Helps her get by
And she can't understand the pills in her hand
Make me question why

She walks out the door with money in her hand
Buttons up her shirt like she had planned
Not once did she notice me watching him leave
Kids my age are out getting drunk
And I'm just looking out for my mum
I'm not stupid and I'm not naive
But I'm only fifteen

Mum can't you see what you're doing to me
It's an endless cycle of probability
I'll probably get divorced and married again three times
I'll probably leave my children wondering why

And they won't understand the vodka in my hand
Helps me get by
And they won't understand the pills in my hand
Make me feel alive

She walks out the door with money in her hand
Buttons up her shirt like she had planned
Not once did she notice me watching him leave
Kids my age are out getting drunk
And I'm just looking out for my mum
I'm not stupid and I'm not naive
But I'm only fifteen

And you weren't there on Christmas day
'cause you were too busy out getting hazed
To think about what you had back home
Do you think about my little brothers?
I told my sister I was sure you loved her
Do you think about what you've got back home?

And they don't understand the vodka in your hand
Help you get by
And they don't understand the pills in your hand
Make you feel alive

She walks out the door with money in her hand
Buttons up her shirt like she had planned
Not once did she notice me watching him leave
Kids my age are out getting drunk
And I'm just looking out for my mum
I'm not stupid and I'm not naive
But I'm only fifteen
