i remember when it was easy

I just want a simple life All this hate around me Oh bye bye These thoughts inside my head They make me go crazy All the memories They make me feel hazy I remember when it was easy No struggles about to be busy But now is a different time These ladders you have to climb oh Feeling positive again I don't know why what's the narrative hey I didn't have to pay my bills I was all about the thrills I was not all alone I was not all grown I was just in my zone When my mind wasn’t blown Before I was all on my own Why do I have to care No, this ain't really fair Why do I have to care I'm living so scared Why do I have to do this Why do I why do I Why do I have to do this God damn I feel so clueless All the memories that I just made They are my secret aid I wish I could go back to when I was 15 Didn’t have to please anybody but me I use to write lyrics for the hell of it Now you write lyrics to stay relevant If you don’t then you’ll just fall off Now everybody prays that will you fall off But I'm sorry to tell you I won't fall off Everybody is so quick to put you down When I was writing in class they praised me like wow Said someday that I would leave this town Been around the country looks like I made them proud I made them proud by getting out of this town This industry is amazing but it can bring you down They are so many highs but oh so many lows Where every move determines how you’re looked at If you slip up they will drop you and never look back Chaddy Why do I have to do this Why do I why do I Why do I have to do this God damn I feel so clueless All the memories that I just made They are my secret aid Why do I have to do this Why do I have to do this Why do I have to do this Why do I have to do this Responsibilities take over me I wish I were still a kid When things were different Take me back to playing modern warfare with my friends And seeing every single local band Not this shitty 9-5 Get me out of this adulthood life Why do I have to do this God damn I feel so clueless All the memories that I just made They are my secret aid Why do I have to do this Why do I have to do this Why do I have to do this Why do I have to do this
