do you see me as a man
or as a child
walkin alone

holdin up a smile
this lonely road
that we all call life

is quite long
so just take your time
yeah, you only live once

but what good does that do
if at the end of it all
you rushed right through and thought

that you saw it all
that's why i walk
as a man, but live as a child


i never thought that id see the day
that you would go but you went away

n now im all alone, gettin cold, not acceptin that your gone
wishin that you would have stayed
atleast for a little while

n even though you could never smile
i knew you were hapy, cuz the love that my mom had givin
was genuine, n we had been doin all that we could

to ensure that you knew that we would
not have givin you up for the world
you were there since before i even kissed a girl

now it seems like i've lost my childhood
n it feels like i fell into a pile of mud
im in dirt n i cant breath, hurt n i cant see

whenever i think of you i blurt that it cant be

CHORUS


what can i say now
it's just another day; how

could i feel safe; you made me feel great
now youre gone, n no one could ever take your place
now i face my fears alone

it makes me think of all the times that ive been wrong
drinkin everything, throwin up ounces of patrone
but whats the point of constantly

drownin out my misery, if i instantly
think of all the things that are wrong with me
its like im livin in a military

walkin through a cemetary,
every february i feel
like im celebratin steppin one more year

closer to death, to takin my last breath
but now im makin a mindset
i bet, i can better myself

damn right it feels good,
n even when i'll become a man
grow outta my peter pan

costume, ill still be livin like a child would
