Growing up shoudn't be this fast
I shouldn't wake up a child
And go to sleep an adult
My heart has been shattered
And my soul cries for peace
I've felt hate and anger
Then I felt love and joy
I shouldn't know the extent of emotions
When I could barely skim at them this morn
I was so naive
When I crawled out of bed today
And got ready for just an "ordinary day"
I had no idea
I had no clue
What life trully means
But now I know
I pull off my clothes
Torn, tattered, stained, worn
And ease back into bed
A thousand lessons learned
A thousand joys lived
A thousand curses thrown
A thousand tears shed
A thousnad loves felt
A thousand hearts broken
A thousand new beginnings
A thousand revelations
A thousand...
A thousand...
A thousand...
...why did I have to grow up...
...why did it have to happen so fast...
...why can't I return to the innocence...
...If only I could go back...
...but I know I don't want to go back...
...I would only be a child...
...And I have finally grown up
A thousand years in a single day
