Why is the sky so heavy tonight
The weight of the world stealing my light
I’m screaming inside, but no one can hear
A grown-up disguise hides all my tears
I thought the answers would come with age
But life just flips to a harder page
The playground’s gone; now it’s bills and clocks
Dreams locked away in a rusted box
Why why why can’t I rewind
To a time when the world was kind
No worries, no chains, just chasing the sun
Why did it end when it had just begun
The nights are long, the mornings gray
The laughter of youth feels so far away
I wear my smile like a fragile crown
But inside it’s a storm that won’t calm down
Take me back to scraped-up knees
To climbing trees and skinning dreams
This grown-up suit is a little too tight
I just want to run into the light
Why why why can’t I rewind
To a time when the world was kind
No worries, no chains, just chasing the sun
Why did it end when it had just begun?
