I'm the boy who made things happen
Driven by complete compassion
I'm always thinking about tomorrow
But today is where I'll borrow

My mistakes cause now i'm learnin'
Lessons that just keep on burnin'
I'm easily amused and just as easily confused

Maybe life ain't much worth livin'
But its the gift that keeps on givin'
No matter what your delt
And no matter how you felt
Think about the times when we had zero problems
Everyday could last forever
But life it burns so cold and so hot
Don't underestimate me big shot

How?
How do we get through this?
And whatever made you feel like you could talk your shit
Now I realize who I'm dealing with

Everyday's a vivid nightmare
Ever since I left the highchair
Waking up to miss the school bus
Breaking up again is too much
Everything I did was no good
Close to so good but, always no good
Even if I changed is my destiny the same

Maybe I'm a little sensitive and high-strung
Mentally abused when so young
I've heard it all before
The criticism I'll ignore

It ain't enough to be myself and speak free
Stand this ground that lies beneath me
But life it burns so cold then so hot
Don't underestimate me big shot

How?
How do we get through this?
And whatever made you feel like you could talk your shit
Now I realize who I'm dealing with
