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
