I guess, you and I, if we met face to face
I'd tell you life is hard
But you should know it's worth the pain
You think life's rough now, just wait a bit
You're gonna get depressed
And then you'll wanna quit
You'll think the end is better than what happens next
But just believe me
Keep on fighting and you'll make it, kid
The silver lining's gonna be pretty hard to find
Just try to look past the struggle
And get your mindset right
I know you're looking at me and hate what you see
Believe me, it's not easy
Being what I hoped I'd never be
I'm trying to do better
You'll understand eventually
It's hard to see you here in front of me
To be honest I'd rather just forget
And hide the painful memories
Stuff that I remember, I just tune it out
Because it's hard to think about the past
When all you have is now
I can't go back and tell you what to change, I'm sorry
To be honest I don't know
Where everything went wrong for me
You're gonna wish you were someone else entirely
But one day I hope to tell you
You've accepted what you were made to be
I hope you understand your life won't be easy
Just show yourself some love
And look for meaning
I'm sorry to admit I usually forget you
You're innocent and happy
And...honestly...I miss you
If I find a time machine and take me back to when I was you
I hope I can forgive you
For all the things you'll turn me into
