Nowadays

I loved how I slept when I was younger and content
 With all the simple things, I had so much more then
 I had peace, I had you to tell me that it would all turn out just fine
 So now I ask you, did we all turn out just fine?
 ♪
 Was it in me not to see you, not to close my eyes and turn?
 Not to hear your voice when you're screaming out my name
 How could I miss it now?
 Screaming out my name
 ♪
 Well, I loved how we spoke with our eyes closed
 And our hands raised to the ceiling high
 And our faith like fire burning inside
 Now we're empty and we don't know why
 That's why I ask you, did we all turn out just fine?
 ♪
 I wanna love something more than I love myself
 I wanna kill this need to be somebody else
 I wanna see my friends doing okay
 Not feeling sad and strange
 But nowadays, why is it so hard?
 ♪
 Cut my chest wide open
 To see that I'm still longing
 I can't find what is missing
 My peace is gone and it won't come back
 Maybe that's why I'm always looking to the past
 I wanna love something more than I love myself
 I wanna kill this need to be somebody else
 I wanna see my friends doing okay
 Not feeling sad or strange
 Nowadays, why is it so hard?
 (To see you, to feel you here)
 Nowadays, why is it so hard?
