Wonder Years, The - I Was Scared And I'm Sorry Lyrics
I've been obviously on the verge of a mental breakdown this week
Stuck between your dirty sheets and back-lit memories
And I've been putting off things like getting my shit out of your apartment
I've been making up excuses about the things that you might need
But they're nowhere and I'm nothing
And I've been trying to stay as busy as I can
I finally broke on Christmas Eve
In an Outback Steakhouse bathroom while my family ordered for me
Haven't been losing sleep, no I pass out almost instantly
The bad dreams get worse every week
I think I'm losing a little of me
I'm getting better, but it's in small steps
I just can't blame New York for this
And so I'm down again, but this time it's different
I'm mourning something that I miss
And that's better than being hopeless
I'm counting back on all my mistakes
From the back of the cop car where you told me you loved me
'Cause after that night, I got scared and I'm sorry
But hey, what can I say?
And I've been trying to find out where everyone's been
But they're nowhere
I'm still nothing
And I've been trying to find old friends
I'm getting better, but it's in small steps
I'm working on sleeping on the left
I just can't blame New York for this
And so I'm down again, but this time it's different
I'm mourning something that I miss
And that's better than being hopeless
It's getting weird to think
About the house on Manton Street
And how neither of us live there
It's probably empty
She watches Breakfast at Tiffany's, it calms her completely
I guess Sarah Marshall does the same for me
It's nothing when she's leaning on me and saying she's sorry
I'm obviously on the verge of a mental breakdown this week
I'm getting better, but it's in small steps
I'm working on sleeping on the left
I just can't blame New York for this
And so I'm down again, but this time it's different
I'm mourning something that I miss
And that's better than being hopeless

Wonder Years, The I Was Scared And I'm Sorry Comments
I'm mourning something that I miss and that's better than being hopeless <3
TBH I feel this is the most 2000s pop punk song you can get
This has a get up kids sound to it.......man the wonder years are amazing
This is like the middle ground between The Upsides and Suburbia...
Ive been depressed alot lately this song brought me to tears somehow this song helps express my thoughts i just wanna shout it out
I'm a huge Wonder Years fan, I've listened to Suburbia, The Greatest Generation, and No Closer to Heaven cover to cover at least a dozen times over. But for whatever reason I've put off The Upsides, save for My Last Semester and Melrose Diner and songs like that.
I'm regretting that now. This song is so damn good I wish I listened to this years ago.
Wonderful, I hate myself.
Christmas has always been good to me, but if ever I have a bad one this song will be straight in the CD player.
I completely broke down last Christmas Eve...was planning my suicide at 6am Christmas Day and my best friend saved my life and I'd like to now say I'm getting better but it's in small steps. Thank You to bands like The Wonder Years for writing songs that make me feel less alone.
Hannah Skellington you seem like such a beautiful person. this isn't some random YouTube comment.. I'm genuinely here for you. ❤❤
i listen to this song in december since every year i feel like im always losing a bit of myself every christmas/year-end time
ahh yes this is the sorta stuff i can cry myself to sleep to
Lauren Morgan currently me. lmao
Lauren Morgan same fam lol
Btw twy is releasing their new albums soon
Here's to us losers ! Happy Friday bitches
The Wonder Years get me through my bad days
The Wonder Years got me through my birthdays
Saaaammee
This song kinda gives like an old cozy vibe,dont know if it's just me but love it!
I am here as well /b/ros. Love you
This song reminds me of the novel turned film 'It's Kind of a Funny Story'. <3
thats so true, i mean it does suck that so much of pop punk is so relatable, but at the same time im glad that they are singing what ive been thinking you know?
The guy I was dating had just cheated on me so I went out with my best guy friend to go smoke away the pain and the cops caught us and arrested us and later that week my friend told me he loved me. Weird right.
Same here man. I listen to every Wonder Years album and the Blue Weezer album on repeat like everyday. No job with so much freetime gives me time for depressed thoughts. It's terrible.
You and people like you give me hope for humanity
It's amazing reading the comments on all these videos and seeing how much this band means to so many people.
it seems pop punk helps so many people to keep themselves alive and not commit suicide, idk why anyone could hate this music...
My love for this song is amazing.
I liked this band when I was 16 and now that I'm 20 living on my own, I understand the lyrics, I mean I thought I did when I was younger but I was just being overly emotional, it's life. Friends growing apart, feeling like a fucking loser and this band just mentions all the little things that get to us but we don't say, it's very simple but hay it doesn't need to be metaphorical, this band is real and they keep it real. Love you guys and will always love you guys.
The band is pretty much about growing up, that's probably why
my life
its kinda of scary how much i can relate to this song.
People like you are the most annoying of all the morons out there.
What is this song about? The fact you're listening to this song contradicts what you're saying. This youtube video is a broadcast of private problems? It helps to be understood by people or just to vent somewhere. Alot of the time, we are scared to tell our friends so we might vent on youtube. Stop pretending you know people when you don't.
You're kinda sad for saying that. Pathetic really.
I think he meant that you are on the verge of suicide...Not that you listen to the song to make yourself happy. It is sad that you would want to take your own life. I was the same way in high school and bands like TBS did the same for me. They kept me going. Now I just graduated from college and I am about to get married :D I am just saying you can change your own future no matter how bad things get. No matter what happens life goes on. And it gets better.
i cant help but notice every Wonder Years song just beacons their motto whether said in the song or not.."Im not sad anymore, im just tired."
"hank"not "ank" damn i suck at typing
sorry 1:58
i love how ank just scolls across the screen at 2:00
Its our ability to relate to one another, even anonymously over youtube, that helps make us human. So don't be ignorant...
dont listen to that dude, music is a very powerful thing.
Wow I haven't listen to this kind of music in soooo long... So happy to recross this again.
fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck you.
its cool
oh my god. i am so sorry i didn't even realise. my apologies.
you're terrible so shut up morgan tebbs
Well I haven't read the rest of the conversation so I don't know if he's being a smart ass, but if you have no one, wouldn't that be sad? It's happy that you have good music to relate to :), just sad that it's this that you do relate to :(. Find some new friends to hang out with and have a bad ass summer dude XD
this song is incredible
Or maybe he was just being a dick idk.
I don't think they meant that it was sad that a band saved your life. I mean, music does save lives. But I think he meant it's sad that you were suicidal. I hope you feel better now. :)
Doesn't change it being sad, bro.
My life saver.
i love this song ugghhhhh!!!!!! \(OoO)/!!!!! am getting better but its in small steps
Stay strong brother.
just keep your head held high. ♥
stay strong dude...we're all in it together
Just saying... idiots like you are why people don't reach out when they're at their lowest. I've been to those points before and I've been afraid to reach out because I didn't want to "cry for attention". Granted, everyone is different, but you can't go lumping everyone into the "crying for attention" category. I hope the next time you see someone at their lowest you help them back up and not pass by because of this.
lik if u cry evertim
Dude, I can completely relate. The Wonder Years have pulled me out of a lot of terrible times. It makes you feel better hearing songs you can actually relate to. This is my own personal view anyway, but I'm not saying everyone views it like I do.
yeah. i thought I'm the only one who notice that. How old are you? haha.
Loved ones? How the fuck do you know They have Loved ones?
You're the man! lol
This song gets me through the day. Keeps me positive. Love TWY, love their fans, love what theyve built.
WOW great band need more recognition, but if it was more popular then it would not be so special
I went to my first TWY concert last week. Once they finished performing, most of the fans were high-fiving and patting each other's back. I think fans of TWY are aware that most of us are alike, and so they treat each other like family.
Can we all just stop with all this drama and bullshit and talk about how great this song is?
Well telling people "bands like these keep me from suicide" Like they are boasting about it are fucked up.
That's a pretty fucked up thing to say, man.
i. love. the. wonder. years. best. pop. punk. band. ever. wwsd?- what would soupy do?
He was replying to Metalhead.
I can't put myself in his situation because I'm not the type to just sit around and make comments for people to feel sorry for me. How about instead of committing suicide go make something of yourself. People that commit suicide are cowards period, they couldn't handle life so they took the easy way out leaving their loved ones to grieve and suffer over them. Simply pathetic.
Music is here for us, for every reason.
Well his comment is just a cry for attention
you told him his life was "sad" (as in pathetic) and that he needs counseling. that's hardly motivational or positive, man.
How is telling someone that they can change and live a better life being harsh?
Well you have nothing and nobody in your life? Well guess what? You can change that, you don't have to be depressed all your life. Music is a huge part of my life, but it doesnt keep me from comitting suicide. Maybe you should go to counceling
not when you got nothing and nobody in your life. they help relate so don't be a dick. some people depend on music to keep them happy. you don't know their life man
thats kinda sad......
this new shit is gay honestly there is a fine line with pop punk now a days
bands like these help keep me from suicide. no jokes.
This song fucking rules. Amazing band.
Fuck off, Kenny Chesney...
STUFUUU!u!!!!
that's nearly exactly what i said? ;3
no, forcing yourself to like it isn't what music is about. their first song i heard was the song "won't be pathetic forever" and it just clicked with me, just like most of their other songs. so did a lot of man overboard songs, from their first album. i don't care for the second album either. i don't listen to pop punk much anymore, mostly just country, but when i do i still enjoy it and it still clicks.
known about the wonder years for years. Just could not get so into them. decided to give them Another chance and listened to a couple songs on 4 albums and a whole ep, and must say im glad a did. They sing about things that People in our generation go through. Pop punk isnt my fav genre but i respect it. Im more into the hardcore scene (styg terror traped under) but this is awesome. Its like a totally different world. Excuse me on my english. Normally don't right in this.
Should be seeing them live right now, but instead I'm stuck at home being sad.
D;
I know everyone is going to get very butthurt over the comment I'm about to make but this kinda sounds like early Fall out boy. Like from their album 'evening out with you girlfriend'
@TurboTrolled they are hard to get into unless you can truely relate to some of what they sing about.
I love pop punk music like A Story So Far, With The Punches, FYS and i could go on but i wont lol but The Wonder Years are just different. I cant explain it but something about them makes it hard for me to get into them.
I had the same issue with Set Your Goals for the longest time. I think you have to be in the right mindset to enjoy music like this and you probably just aren't in it yet.
hahaha sound
starting to airguitar in the middle of a full train :p
such as?
just gotta love this music! (only because it makes you do crazy things!)
I just cant get into this band, Ive been trying for the past three weeks and its just not working. They dont suck at all i just cant get into it. My loss i guess.
That Outback steakhouse line is one of the most depressing things I've ever heard. Primarily because he's in an Outback on Christmas Eve lol
They're so perfect.
I never realized how broken I was until I listened to this song and realized that it described my life.
All of their words mean something to me
There are fan girls for Gerard Way. Nothing against Soupy, he is attractive in his own way for sure. I'm just sayin', if there are Gerard Way fan girls then there are fan girls for Mr. Campbell.
You'd be surprised, every girl at the GK tour was all over him, it was hard for him to even walk anywhere
