I would wake up in the morning and then watch TV
Would get ready for school with my parents next to me
My eight-year-old self wouldn't worry about a thing
Just enjoy life and have fun like every human being
I would bike to school with a smile on my face
Would play with my friends, run around and chase
Little squirrels and things, but I don't do that now
Because I have things to do and I forgot how
Now I stay up in my room doing homework till ten
And then the next day doing the same thing again
I want to go back to those dreamy days
So I can escape
So I put my brave face on
When everything goes wrong
So I put my brave face on
And everyone moves on
So I put my brave face on
I wake up early, get ready for school
Walk the dog, make lunch, and try to be grateful
Take to train to school, barely getting by every day
And trying to have fun but just don't have the time to play
With my friends or do anything but
Homework and coursework just slam my computer shut
My eight-year-old self wouldn't worry about a thing
Just enjoy life and have fun like every human being
So I put my brave face on
When everything goes wrong
So I put my brave face on
And everyone moves on
So I put my brave face on
When everything goes wrong
So I put my brave face on
And everyone moves on
So I put my brave face on
I would wake up in the morning and then watch TV
Would get ready for school with my parents next to me
I would bike with my friends and a smile on my face
I escaped
So I put my brave face on
When everything goes wrong
So I put my brave face on
And everyone moves on
So I put my brave face on
When everything goes wrong
So I put my brave face on
And everyone moves on
So I put my brave face on
