Lyrics
A one, two, three
When I was young
I thought I'd grow to be
Be something beautiful
So that they would notice me
But I've seen the sun
I'm a bit older see
I made something beautiful
But I did it just for me
I did it just for me
I wrote this just for me
I had to sacrifice so I can live comfortably
The devil would act at night, that's when she'd come for me
Sometimes I felt crying, I know my tears would freeze
Man, these days swear they're tougher
Lord, are you hearing me (lord, are you hearing me)
I would pray, told you I would suffer
But the ending was clear to me (the ending was clear to me)
I was say that I'd had enough
But I'd muster the energy (I'd muster the energy)
I was shining diamond in the rough
Had to harness my destiny (had to harness my destiny)
When I was young
I had to grow
I had to be
Someone they know
But I'm 22
I'm getting old
I made something nice
That I can behold
When I was young
I thought I'd grow to be
Be something beautiful
So that they would notice me
But I've seen the sun
I'm a bit older see
I made something beautiful
But I did it just for me
I did it just for me
This is all just for me
I did it just for me
Selfish, powerless, felt helpless yeah
Different type of pain, can't explain how I felt it yeah
I would close my eyes, down my spine to my pelvis yeah
Winter cold, man wished the snow would have melted, I would uh
I wish the snow, or a wishing bone
Something to give me hope, just a little something to get me home
Just to keep me going, gritty road
Grew up privileged, next to city folk yeah
Felt a sickness, had a heavy soul, had to witness, really grow
