Stupid Kid -- Alkaline Trio

There are things that used to make me smile  One of them was you for just a little while
You left me for dead so far away  I replaced you with fear and shame
You'll be happy on the day I die   

There are things that used to make me laugh  But now they're deeply buried in the past
I left them there so far away  Replaced my humor with my pain
I'll be happy on the day it dies
Remember when I said I love you  Well, forget it I take it back
I was just a stupid kid back then  I take back every word that I said

There are things that used to make you cry  One of them was me for just a little while
Why is it that you had to say Goodbye in your special way
You slashed the tires on my car
Remember when I said I love you  Well, forget it I take it back
I was just a stupid kid back then   I take back every word that I said        (sing365) 

This song is about how miserable life can be if you develop a crush on one of your teachers in high school. The video tells a story of a little boy in elementary school who is in love with his teacher, doing whatever he could to please her. He gets made fun of my the other students, and soon the teacher ridicules him in front of the whole class, making him a laughing stock. After he leaves outside the room toward her window, he takes off the hat that he's been wearing the entire video, revealing two horns. The teacher can be seen struggling, surrounded in flames. Of course this video lead to controversy, and it was banned until it got edited so the student has no horns and the teacher is wrestling with nothing.                                                                                                                                                            (songfacts)
