lyrics

Verse 1:
When I was a boy, I thought I'd live a life of joy
And then I watched the world just crumble before my eyes
And now I'm 26 and still feel like that young lost kid
And I'm not sure how I'm supposed to live
How'd we get like this?

Chorus:
When I was a boy
How'd we get like this

Verse 2:
When I was 18 I was so scared of everything
Just trying to live life like the dreams that were in my head
When my daddy left and came back
Told me there's no death and I shouldn't be afraid of loss
And live it all

Chorus:
When I was a boy
How'd we get like this

Verse 3:
When my grandma passed I think I lost
At least like half of the hope I had
In the world and what life could be
And I let myself fall so low
I could have lost it all but I know
That that's not what she'd want
So I crawled up back
When I was a boy I knew the world
Could have been mine
But now I'm finding I'm alone
I can't see the light

Chorus:
When I was a boy
How'd we get like this
