"About the struggles to stay smilin' even when the world smiles back at you."
-MCR
lyrics
I've had an easy life, I must admit
Can't find that much wrong with it
I sing a feathery song, my life?
It has been light
But something strange happened to me it seems
The spots in life that used to gleam
Have run out of day and
Swallowed me in night
I've grown up right
I can't complain
I've seen some hurt (we've all)
But I've suffered through to gain
I've grown up right
Quite easily
But if I've grown so right
Then why's it all gone wrong for me?
I'm affluent, well-educated
Posh and smart, sophisticated
I've seen the world in stride, I have nothing to unpack
But my pain's so real, it hurts to feel
The problem's I once took in zeal
It seems my right's rode off and it's never coming back
I've grown up right
I can't complain
I've seen some hurt (we've all)
But I've suffered through to gain
I've grown up right
Quite easily
But if I've grown so right
Then why's it all gone wrong for me?
I've seen some rough before
Hell, sometimes I've wanted more
But I never thought that this wrong would bleed so bright
I've grown up right
I can't complain
I've seen some hurt (we've all)
But I've suffered through to gain
I've grown up right
Quite easily
But if I've grown so right
Then why's it all gone wrong for me?
But if I've grown so right
Then why's it all gone wrong for me?
