When I Was a Kid Lyrics

When I was a kid, thought I could hold onto my dreams

That they'd all come true if only I believed

We're all trying to be something that no one can see

When your gaze turns my way, it passes right through me

Now that I'm older, I find I'm on my own

Surrounded by people, yet I'm alone

The days fly by, I wonder where did the time go?

And is there some greater purpose that I'll ever know?

Searching for the answers between all the lines

I always come up empty, maybe there's nothing to find

Except another lost soul looking for what this life means

What's it all for if it doesn't mean a thing?

Searching for the answers between all the lines

I always come up empty, maybe there's nothing to find

Except another lost soul looking for what this life means

What's it all for if it doesn't mean a thing?

When I was a kid, I thought the world would be mine

That I could be anything, all I needed was time

Now I know better, see it all was a lie

I couldn't wait to grow up, now I'm just waiting to die
