Life has not been easy, it has been so cruel
my dad drinking so much, being bullied at school
loving someone so much, when in fact, they didn't care
crying, wanting, reaching out, for someone who wasn't there

Staring through a window, thinking i'm going mad
people laughing, watching me, telling me i'm so sad
scared to go outside on my own, things have got so mean
watching, shaking, wondering, trying not to be seen

looking after my mum, who i love so very dearly
i love helping, i love doing good, but it's an uphill
struggle really
when we've leaned on eachother, when times were so very
rough
feeling like i can't go on anymore, feeling i had enough

i suppose we take what life throws at us
deal with today and next year
"Life is so great, it's gonna be good!"
them words i long to hear
