We used to be young
We’d leave our lives messes
We’d cry when we fell
And we’d wear pretty dresses
But youth is fleeting
And age steals sanity
We wake to what’s real,
And lose faith in humanity
And now when we fall
We laugh like we’re mad
Because we know now
What we never had
We never had knowledge
No, we never knew
That scraped knees are easy
It’s scraped hearts that hurt true
So isn’t it funny
How life plays with our brains
That scraping our knees
Can help numb this life’s pains
Have we gone crazy
Maybe we’ve lost our minds
That we’re laughing when
There’s no joy we can find
But the harsh point is
That's the way this life goes
It hurts like hell
And it’s not what we chose
I wish I’d never
Grown up like this
Missing things I
Never thought I’d miss
Like the way tears were
So easy to cry
Back before I knew
People could want to die
We’re all broken now
We all know too much
Our dreams, once fire,
Are now cold to the touch
But we used to be young
We used to have hope
We never thought we’d hurt
Funny now we can’t cope
Life’s taken its toll
It pulls us all to the grave
I had a hard choice and
I chose to be brave
I sacrificed youth
In order to live
And it wasn’t something
Life chose to forgive
And now it’s long gone
But I miss it all
And oh how I long
To cry when I fall
