Nothing else could compare to the fears I fear.
Been on my own, struggling all alone,
 all I have are these clothes on my back and this song.

I never had much I never believed I could be,
 someone, somehow, somebody.
Said goodbye to all my childhood hopes and dreams.

Time to grow up and accept responsibilities.

No one knows what it's like, no one knows how it feels.
Nothing else could compare to the fears I fear.
Been on my own, struggling all alone,
 all I have are these clothes on my back and this song.

Listen, won't you listen to the things I have to say?
'cause it just might affect the way that you think about
 how you live from day to day.
It may be easy for you but it seems like hell to me.

Time to grow up and accept responsibility.

No one knows what it's like, no one knows how it feels.
Nothing else could compare to the fears I fear.
Been on my own, struggling all alone,
 all I have are these clothes on my back and this song
