It's alright

I wish that life was like i was a kid again
I wish that it never came to its end

I was so healthy, i would play and ride my bike all day
We were always playing games, everyone could play

Hide-and-seek was my favorite next to football
We always played in the rain so it'd be fun to fall

The only time your parents yelled were when it was time to come in
I loved family get to-gethers too, they always made me grin

I loved watching cartoons before I went to school
My mom would make me breakfast, no lose ends were there to pull

I loved Sundays too, time for the game
Cheer leading is what i liked, all of my friends came

Then I'd be back in the good ole dale
Happiness here could never fail

I loved it, all of us would hang out
Doing mischief and laughing, it's what life was about

coming home didn't make me cry
I was always happy, i didn't have to try

I miss the bedtime stories that my mother would read to me
Then she'd tell me she loved me so freely

Kissed me on the forehead and told me good-night
Waking up the next day with my smile shining bright...

...So much has changed since then
My life is so different since i was like ten

I'll be honest, I'm not as healthy anymore
I ain't sure why i do all of these bad things for

My favorite game was beating the piss out of my boyfriend
I didn't want to, but it wasn't pretend

I don't cheer lead anymore, i turned the other way
I said i didn't enjoy it, i was into drugs, what could i say

My friends either are stoned, in jail, or died
And it feels nobody looks for me when i hide

My mother doesn't love me, she told me I'm a mistake
When i stopped living her life, she said i wasn't her daughter i was a fake

We don't talk or associate anymore
i don't even know why I'm living here for

I guess really all i miss is my happiness
And maybe a parent's kiss

But sooner or later, i get through the night
I guess i just miss having someone saying "It's alright"
