Twelve years ago I knew nothing but fun
No place to go but fields under the sun
Twelve years ago I laughed at my mistakes
Now a single smile, I can't even make!
Ten years ago I knew a bit 'bout pain
But there was always someone who could stop the rain
Ten years ago I could still dry my tears
Now there's nothing I can do to ease my fears!
Three years ago I thought love was a fairytale
I didn't know I was wrong until the day I failed
Three years ago it was easy to mend my heart
But now this pain is tearing me apart!
Wish I could go back to those years in my life
Wish I could give up this crazy fight
I know I can no longer take back the words I said
That now I'm a grown up and the kid in me is dead!
