Lyrics

So tired of this life
Too smart for suicide
I know that somewhere waiting
Someone?s there to take care of me
And tell me its okay
Tell me it all works out? someday

I?ve tried so hard
I?m giving up
If this is love it?s not enough
I miss the times when life was simple

Look to the times I?m five
With all these toys by my side
Look to the times I?m ten
And I?m surrounded by friends

Now I am twenty-one
Now I am twenty-one
Now I am twenty-one and I?m so confused
Now I am twenty-one
Now I am twenty-one
Now I am twenty-one and I?m so alone

So tired of this life
Too smart for suicide
I know that somewhere waiting
Someone?s there to take care of me
And hold me to their breast
Tell me it all works out
It all works out for the best

And never leave
Grow tired of me
Or get drunk and cheat on me
I miss the times when life was simple

Look to the times I?m five
My parents tucked me in at night
Look to the times I?m ten
And I still had close friends

Now I am twenty-one
Now I am twenty-one
Now I am twenty-one and I?m so confused
Now I am twenty-one
Now I am twenty-one
Now I am twenty-one and I?m so alone

Does growing up mean giving in
Or fighting wars I?ll never win
I?ve lost my faith, I?ve lost my trust, I?ve lost my love
And though my hope is almost gone
I?m still holding on
I?ll find you someday
