For as long I can think back, I never wanted to let you down
But for now I’m more focused on making me proud
I hope you some day you understand, that this what I need right now
I know someday I’ll figure this shit out
Turning eighteen’s not what it used to be
It’s feeling desperate, lost, and lonely
Problems I don’t need
It seems like everyone has my life picked out for me
“Go to school, and get your degree, it’s the only way to be happy”
It may sound childish, but I’ve my minds made up and the harsh truth is
I’m just not cut out for the minimum wage and community college
I’m nothing more than what you see
Just a kid trying to be honest, with some problems, trying to solve them
If I wrote the real book about growing up, the first line would be
This world is full of bullshit, don’t let yourself sink too deep
Just do what it takes to get some sleep, just get some sleep
It seems like everyone has my life picked out for me
“Go to school, and get your degree, it’s the only way to be happy”
It may sound childish, but I’ve my minds made up and the harsh truth is
I’m just not cut out for the minimum wage and community college
Sometimes it’s hard enough to breathe,
Not to mention think anything but pathetic pleas
And all I’m asking is please let me be who I need to be.
Just let me be who I need to be
The day I give up on this dream will be the day it kills me
It’ll take its toll on me but at least I will die smiling
The day I give up on this dream will be the day it kills me
And when the day comes I’ll finally be happy
