Live like you're at the bottom even when you're at the top.


You all tell me what I do wrong
I have to listen or I am down
But you never want to hear what I say
Never really care about me
But now will you ever know
That I'm on my own
And I don't wanna see you fall

Adults, adults
Look at what you do
You just mess around, then tell me I'm a fool
Grown-ups, grown-ups
Tell me what is wrong
You should all stop fighting with the ones you love

You say you never understand me
How can I behave like this tonight
I should do this and that right now
But tell me who is really right?
And no will you ever know
That I'm on my own
And I don't wanna see you fall

Adults, adults
Look at what you do
You just mess around, then tell me I'm a fool
Grown-ups, grown-ups
Tell me what is wrong
You should all stop fighting with the ones you love

So I think that by now
You should stop and look back in time
When you were young
I can bet you wouldn't be proud of what's happening now
So stop and be who you are
Just be a child, be a child, be a child
Never care, never care
Dream, shout, scream, and just be honest with yourself

Adults, adults
Look at what you do
You just mess around, then tell me I'm a fool
Grown-ups, grown-ups
Tell me what is wrong
You should all stop fighting with the ones you love

Stop this train
Because you need to change
For me to believe
That everything is fine
If you're who you are inside


The author's comments:
I wrote this song about some members of my family. They all are nice to each other, but then they talk behind each other's back. I hate how they tell me I should be honest, I should treat my friends right when I do know that and I am honest, especially with myself, I have lots of friends who love me and I'm good to them. But I don't think they notice what they do. Because of them I'm afraid to be an adult. I mean, as a kid I have dreams, passions but I'm afraid that I will lose it all just like they did, and that my 15 year old version wouldn't like myself when I'm 40.

Hidden message: Be who you are, look at yourself from the distance.
