You had your youth
You had your chances

You were happy and carefree

Without a stress

Nor a cloudy day

The years have passed

And yet you want more

It is now my turn

It is now my right

To have those same sunny days

You once cherished

But you find so difficult to hand away

Quietly you have clawed yourself into my life

Making it difficult for someone like me
to stand up on my own

You know my weaknesses…

You know I’ll never say no

Always living in your shadow

And I am the one that grows old

I can’t see my future

I can’t taste success

I am numb because of your ways
