[Verse 1] Seven years old, I still remember Down in the basement Yelling out for help, but No one answered me Like they didn’t hear a thing And it felt like God was silent too Like I was never anything [Pre-Chorus] I grew up fast, but I stayed afraid Learned how to smile just to hide the pain They told me time would heal the scars But mine just learned to stay [Chorus] Why is life so hard? Why is life so cruel? They said, "you’ll get it when you’re older" But I’m older now And I still feel like a fool Why is life this hard? Why does life still hurt? They said, "when you’re older, you’ll get it" But I’m older now And it’s only getting worse [Verse 2] Twenty-two now, still feel the same Different room but I still carry that pain Bills on the table, fake smiles in the mirror Everybody’s moving forward but the ending feels nearer I drink down the nights just to sleep a little better But the dark in my chest only pulls me in forever And I hear that little kid when the world gets quiet Still asking for a hand but nobody comes by it [Pre-Chorus] I try to talk but the words don’t land It’s like my heart was never meant to understand They say I’ll find myself someday But I don’t know who I am [Chorus] Why is life so hard? Why is life so cruel? They said, "you’ll get it when you’re older" But I’m older now And I still feel like a fool Why is life this hard? Why does life still hurt? They said, "when you’re older, you’ll get it" But I’m older now And it’s only getting worse [Bridge] Who do I ask for help If even God won’t hear me? Who do I run to now When I’m drowning this deeply? I’ve been praying in the dark Till my voice turned to silence If Heaven never answers What’s the point of trying? And if nobody’s coming Then tell me what to do ‘Cause I’m tired of surviving With nothing to hold on to [Final Chorus] Why is life so hard? Why is life so cruel? They said, "you’ll get it when you’re older" But I’m older now And I still feel like a fool Why is life this hard? Why does life still hurt? They said, "when you’re older, you’ll get it" But I’m older now And it’s only getting worse [Outro] I’m older now… but I still don’t get it.
