You were better off when you were chasing me

When I knew right from wrong

when nothing really mattered but the lyrics to the songs

when I could say what I wanted and never hear a word

until you turn 15 and they call you certain words

which is really ironic how so much can change

how a girl can have her first kiss at 9

and a baby not to far along the way

they say life is short and death is soon to come

really life is about what you make of it

its not always supposed to be fun

but we wake up in the mornings with smiles on our faces

after all we have been through there’s still hope for the generations

so take advantage of your days because nothing lasts forever

make do of what you’ve got and just never say never
