Ten years ago I had a dream I could see in my head
I wondered how at age 13 Could I change for the best
I've seen the world break people down At the clap of a hand
I made a vow I'd never let it tear me down again
Eight years ago I had a friend Who had the world in his hands
I wondered how at age 15 Could he ever be sad
I've seen the stress break people down At the clap of a hand
I made a vow I'd never let it tear me down again
Nowadays I've made friends with the monsters
Under the bed in my head and those who wander
Nowadays I've found a world where I can be
myself And it won't ever tear me down again
Nowadays I've made friends with the monsters
Under the bed in my head and those who wander
Nowadays I've found a world where I can be
myself And it won't ever tear me down again
Five years ago I lost the love of my life Lost my best friend
I know the story,
age 18 Life's just beginning again
Seen people break each other down At the clap of a hand
I made a vow I'd never let it tear me down again
Three years ago I found a way to forgive and forget I knew by then,
at age 21,
there's no changing the past
I've seen some things,
I've felt the pain of growing up way too fast I made
a vow I'd make the dreams I had come true in the end
Ten years ago, like a flip of a page
Eight years ago,
felt like months if not days Five years ago,
I felt nothing but pain
Three years ago,
I found a way
Nowadays I've made friends with the monsters Under the bed
in my head and those who wander Nowadays I've found a world
where I can be myself And it won't ever tear me down again
Nowadays I've made friends with the monsters
Under the bed in my head and those who wander
Nowadays I've found a world where I can be
myself And it won't ever tear me down again
