Back when I was 5 I-
I felt so alive
No crisis or worries
No sorrows inside
My parents, their faces
Lit up when I smiled
They loved me so deeply
No one questions their child
They say life is what you make it
You're calling the shots
But if the sky is the limit
Then why have I stopped?
If I could learn how to fly
I could reach for the sky
Then maybe you'd hold your hand out
And see that I am still the kid before
Just got a little older
And slammed some doors
We might have gone through pain
And my hair ain't stay the same
But when it comes to the heart of who you're talking to
Nothing has changed
Sorry I woke up one day
But I can't live this way
I know we're considered family
But we're stuck in this race
It's more like it's a chase
Cause' I'm trying to run
Away from all the stress
You're causing me
This life ain't no fun
Wanted to smell all our roses
I tried to get close and
The prickles started pricking me
Now I'm overdosin'
On all of the drama
Wanna get out, I gotta
But before I do
I just wanna tell you
That I'm still the kid before
Just got a little older
And slammed some doors
We might have gone through pain
And my hair ain't stay the same
But when it comes to the heart of who you're talking to
Nothing has changed
Oh don't tell me that my soul is lost
Don't tell me that I'm not in charge
Cause' from what I know
In my life I am the boss
And you can't stop me
From being me
If I move that's your loss
Wanted to smell all my roses
I went to get close and
I noticed they were smoother
Since the last time we've spoken
I guess that's just karma
Cause' my minds in nirvana
And I've been feeling different everyday
But I am still the kid before
Just got a little older
And slammed some doors
We might have gone through pain
And my hair ain't stay the same
But when it comes to the heart of who you're talking to
I am still the kid you knew before
The only major difference is
I'm so much more
I've removed all my stains
I've got so much life to gain
And I'm feeling more and more like myself everyday
Well I guess everything's changed
