I gave up my youth, to become an adult Now i am an adult on my own I gave up my time to become a wealthy man Now i am rich and alone I gave up my life, for what i thought I wanted but nevertheless I was mistaken I gave up my happiness, for what i thought was success For which i have forsaken The path I have chosen to venture led to my own demise I gained everything I thought I ever wanted A life I created, a nasty surprise.
