Another Innocent Girl - Alkaline Trio

He likes to act like he’s all grown up

He wanted to grow up to be

An actor, but he never told anybody

He likes to spill all of his guts

On the top of a well stocked bar

And then swallow them bit by bit

Remembering every scar

It’s a valid reason for every drink

And a new tattoo is a new reason to think

He likes to pretend that he’s all sewn up

It makes for a much stronger case

But there is blood underneath that skin

That scar is not so easy to erase

He walks with a glass cane now, he’s careful

When holding his body up straight

Can’t go outside anymore when it’s raining

Can’t smash up that beautiful face

Another innocent girl just made his list

That self pity shit is just too hard too resist

Yeah, when we get home, you’ll see

That this part of him is now part of me

He likes to act like he’s all grown up

He wanted to grow up to be

An actor, but he never told anybody

He likes to spill all of his guts

On the top of a well stocked bar

And then swallow them bit by bit

Remembering every scar

It’s a valid reason for stronger drinks

And a new tattoo is a new reason to think

Yeah, when we get home, you’ll see

That this part of him is controlling me

And it’s way too easy to fake this smile

And lead you on

Maybe I’m wrong

Everyone gets bored once in awhile
