Real Life

I spy With my little eye Something that is Old and tired But too young Too young to die Tell me why oh why Do I try If the world's Giving up So am I I fell but I didn't cry Sticks and stones can't hurt but oh Your lies They cut like knives Tell me why oh why Do you try And make believe that Everything's just fine I scratch and I fight To barely survive Is this my real life Once high at once low I do what I'm told Couldn't stop Even if I wanted to My oh the years they fly I refresh the page as I Watch all the lives Passing me by Tell me was this the vision for my life That you saw When you kissed me goodnight Could I turn it around Broken promises compound I took it all And swallowed it down Tell me were you afraid I might drown What's the age We start saving Ourselves I scratch and I fight To barely survive Is this my real life Once high at once low I do what I'm told Couldn't stop Even if I wanted to I scratch and I fight To barely survive Is this my real life Once high at once low I watch it unfold Couldn't stop It if I wanted to
