No One Ever Told Me
I grew up thinking life would be easy,
“Follow the rules and you’ll get by,”
That’s all I ever heard.
No one ever told me,
There are things you can’t control.
My best friend died when I was too young,
Life can be so hard.
I grew up thinking that normal is real,
“Follow the rules and you’ll get by,”
That’s all I ever heard.
No one ever told me,
There are things you can’t control.
The friends I had left me all alone,
Life can be so hard.
I grew up thinking love was all around,
“Follow the rules and you’ll get by,”
That’s all I ever heard.
No one ever told me,
There are things you can’t control.
I’m not accepted in my home,
Life can be so hard.
I grew up thinking that rules are the way,
“Follow the rules and you’ll get by,”
That’s all I ever heard.
No one ever told me,
There are things that I can change.
The way I live is up to me,
This life is just a choice.
