When you opened up your eyes for the very first time
You didn't realize the joy you bring into the world
Just being you
When you were a kid
It seems like everything you did
You were either praised for, or
You were disciplined
Well I know life isn't fair
And I know, I just don't care and I
I'm gonna tell you why
With all the pain and the strife
At some point, you gotta just realize
That's life
Now you're in your teens
Isn't this the meanest
Life has ever been to you
Some people turn to what they claim as their escape
I look at them and say
It's only gonna break you
Or make you
Into what you don't wanna be
As for me
I know life isn't fair
And I know, I just don't care and I
I'm gonna tell you why
With all the pain and the strife
At some point, you gotta just realize
That's life
Now you're an adult
There's no going back
It's time to pack
Up your things and drive away
From your childish ways
Well I know life isn't fair
And I know, I just don't care and I
I'm gonna tell you why
With all the pain and the strife
At some point, you gotta just realize
That's life
When you've reached the end of your rope
How I hope you've
Lived yours to the fullest
Well I know life isn't fair
And I know, I just don't care and I
I'm gonna tell you why
With all the pain and the strife
At some point, you gotta just realize
Trust me, it helps when you realize
I promise it gets better if you just accept
That's life
