Right Away
No one ever told me that
life was gonna be easy
Pinching pennies and trying to stay
awake
WIth people staring down at me
Laughing thier heads away
Still I believe that maybe
this is gonna change
No one ever told me that
It was gonna be this way
We try so hard to fit in
When we were made to stand out
Trying to figure
What life's all about
And as we grow
And as we learn
We really see the truth
Gettin knocked down to the ground
With everything to lose
And I've been through it all
At such an early age
I've seen all the hurt and pain
Right away, right away
And I've seen the way that life
can bring you down
I've seen all the cheats and lies
Right away, right away
Everyone has to be to fake
So shallow and dead to me
Transparent smiles
With high profiles
It makes me want to hide away
I feel alone in this world
Like I'm the only one who cares
And as I turn around
And look around
There's no one there
Dreams seem to never come real
In a world where we're shot down
We work hard to make it large
But my smile turns into a frown
And maybe one day I will be
Looked at for what I am inside
And I'll keep trying
To make it by
Until the day I die
And I've been through it all
At such an early age
I've seen all the hurt and pain
Right away, right away
And I've seen the way that life
can bring you down
I've seen all the cheats and lies
Right away, right away
