The Way Life Goes Lyrics

I wish I was more optimistic

And I didn't beat myself up on the negative stuff

I wish that I could have a lot more confidence

And I could trust the feelings that have been stuck in my gut

I wish I weren't so paranoid and anxious

And overthinking everything I do in my day

I wish that I could love myself a little more

Maybe then I'd have what I'm begging for

There's a lot things about me I wish I could change

Or things I could've handled in a better way

Maybe if I could I'd go back to when I was eight

And tell that little kid just what is coming his way

Yeah

I ain't gonna lie and say

It's nothing but great

I really wish I could but that's just not the case

You gon take some hits, far worse than I can explain

And you gon take some falls and get laughed in the face

And you know that girl, that we thought was the one

(Yeah)

We give her the world and then she cheats for a bum

And that taught us firsthand not to love someone quick

Cause you'll fall apart and lose yourself over some bitch

We lose a lot of people, they were immature

Yet still we think we are the one that is to blame

I know it sucks to hear, that our life isn't perfect

But I don't think that I would change a thing

Oh

I know that our life isn't easy (I know)

But everything that we have been through

Makes us who we are today (Who we are today)

That's just the way that life goes

I wish that I was able to not give a damn

And not stress over things that are out of my hands

I know this may be hard for you to understand

But it's gon all make sense to you in a couple years

We care about our image

And how we appear

And being disliked

Is something that we feared

I don't know why

We have someone's opinion in our ear

Cause the only one that you should care about

Is in the mirror

See some things are bout to happen

So hold on to faith

It makes us who we are

And that I'd never change

At fifteen we learn to make

Rap songs with a lot of taste

Hoping one day we can make it

Millions and a private plane

Sixteen and our heart breaks

Hurts worse than I can explain

Put it all in the music

Sounding like broken love tapes

Seventeen and we graduate

Friends all went separate ways

I never thought I'd say this

But man I miss the old days

Eighteen and we find depression

Hits us like a tidal wave

Not sure where it originated

Still grew and we overcame it

Life for us is far from plain

Deep scars that won't heal the same

But I'm here and I'm making waves

Nineteen with a dream to chase

Lotta questions that you wanna ask

Does our future outweigh the past

I wish that I was able to give you all the answers that you want to have

Truth is that I still don't know

Still here learning how to grow

More into the person that I wanna be

But I'll let you know
