I guess life was tough, growing up
I didn't even know if I could make it or not
'Cause every day is harder on your own
And when they look at me, it's clear to see
That they don't want to be the ones to hang around with me
So now I guess I'll go it on my own
Life was hard and I got down but I got up and carried on
Time passed so slow
The life I lived was all in vain, a worthless show upon this game
Time was so cold
'Cause I can live a lifetime living these lies
I can laugh and act okay
I can show a smile and say I'm happy
But there has gotta be a better way
I wanna live, I wanna love, don't wanna care about anything
'Cause I can live a lifetime living this life or start again
I'm tongue tied, feels like I'm losing hold on this lifeline
but I don't wanna leave the ones I love, no
Life was hard and I got down but I got up and carried on
Time passed so slow
The life I lived was all in vain, a worthless show upon this game
Time was so cold
'Cause I can live a lifetime living these lies
I can laugh and act okay
I can show a smile and say I'm happy
But there has gotta be a better way
I wanna live, I wanna love, don't wanna care about anything
'Cause I can live a lifetime living this life or start again
'Cause I can live a lifetime living these lies
I can laugh and act okay
I can show a smile and say I'm happy
But there has gotta be a better way
I wanna live, I wanna love, and I don't care about anything
'Cause I can live a lifetime living this life or start again
So I won't waste a lifetime living this life, I'll start again
