Eighteen

I was eighteen, living in a daydream

I always thought I'd have it all my way

Couldn't change me, nobody could make me

Be somebody I don't wanna be

And the times can't change me

Won't become a dull boy, all work no play

I was eighteen, now I'd probably hate me

I didn't think I'd see 28

I've been going back in time on lockdown

I remember mama cried when I dropped out

And the look in dad's eyes when I got locked up

Just another memory that I blocked out

But you can't be everything to everyone all of the time

So sick of spending every day alone inside my mind

I was eighteen, living in a daydream

I always thought I'd have it all my way

Couldn't change me, nobody could make me

Be somebody I don't wanna be

And the times can't change me

Won't become a dull boy, all work no play

I was eighteen, now I'd probably hate me

I didn't think I'd see 28

So what do you expect of me?

I've gotta be myself

I thought the drugs would be the death of me

I put myself through hell

I always thought I knew what's best for me

But that's a story only time will tell

So what do you expect of me?

I never let it get to me
