The Hardest Part

The years fly, they go by
 Flashing like neon lights
 Burning out a little faster
 The long nights, the deadlines
 The need to make the headlines
 Every day's an uphill battle
 Wonder if it even matters
 All this time just piles up
 And I don't know why but
 I get lost in, how it was back then
 Back before I learned to worry
 Long before somebody hurt me
 Didn't have to numb my mind
 'Cause I wasn't on borrowed time
 Before I knew this rollercoaster
 Wouldn't stop when I got older
 Waiting for this broken ride to start
 Was the hardest part
 Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
 Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
 ♪
 What happened to that kid
 Who still believed in magic?
 Planes of paper in the sky but
 Now she's in a downward spiral
 All this time just piles up
 And I don't know why but
 I get lost in, how it was back then
 Back before I learned to worry
 Long before somebody hurt me
 Didn't have to numb my mind
 'Cause I wasn't on borrowed time
 Before I knew this rollercoaster
 Wouldn't stop when I got older
 And waiting for this broken ride to start
 Was the hardest part
 Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
 Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
 Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
 Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
 I just wanna go back
 I can never go back, but I look back sometimes
 I just wanna go back
 I can't live like that, that's why they call it a past life
 (I wanna go back) I just wanna go back
 (But I know that) I can never go back, but I look back sometimes
 (I can't go back to a past life) I just wanna go back, I can't live like that
 That's why they call it a past life
 (Wanna go back) I just wanna go back
 (But I know that I can't go back) I can never go back, but I look back sometimes
 I just wanna go back, I just wanna go back
 Back before I learned to worry
 Long before somebody hurt me
 Didn't have to numb my mind
 'Cause I wasn't on borrowed time
 Before I knew this rollercoaster
 Wouldn't stop when I got older
 And waiting for this broken ride to start
 Before I built these walls around my heart
 And waiting for this broken ride to start
 Was the hardest part
 Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
 Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
 Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
 Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
