I used to have nightmares
Bout things under my bed.
Vampires and ladies
With no heads.
Till I grew up
Then I saw the
Real world.
Till I grew up
Then I saw
Reality.
Till I grew up
Then I saw my world
Fall apart.
I used to live in a
Perfect bubble that
Protected me
From sadness
And reality.
Till I grew up
And life popped
The bubble.
Till I grew up
And saw reality
Was tragic.
Till I grew up
Then I saw my world
Fall apart.
I used to wake up
And smile.
Go to school
And smile.
Come home
And smile.
Live my life
And smile.
I used to be happy
And really live.
Till I grew up
And I saw the world
Through new eyes.
Till I grew up
And blacked my tears,
Smudged my eyes.
Till I grew up
Then I saw my world
Fall apart.
Till I grew up
And wished I could just
Shut my eyes again.
