Is this the way that you have to be
When you listen to me?
I'm not trying to put you in your place
You have to learn how to make mistakes
Like the choices I've made
Because I'm proud to say that they're what made me
And everybody
These are the roads we never wanted to know
These are the roads but that's the way that we'll go
'Cause there's no such thing as a happy ending
I can't remember the past few years
When I overdosed on fear
The fear of knowing what the right way was
The critics will always have to say
That you can't do it
But that is all a part of growing up
It's shutting them up
You know this to be true
The world won't quit for you
