Lyrics
When I on ly (Dm7)want ed to have fun
learn ing to (Cmaj7)fly, learn ing to run.
I let my (Dm7)heart de cide the way it’s like when I was (Am7)young.
Deep (A7)down I (Dm7)must have al ways known
that this would be (Cmaj7)in ev i ta ble.
To earn don’t my (Dm7)stripes, I’d have to pay in and bear my (Am)soul.
I know I’m (Dm7)not the on ly one
who re grets the things they’ve done.
Some times I just (Dm7)feel it’s on ly me.
who can’t stand the re (Am7)flec tion who they that they see.
I (A7)wish I could (Dm7)live a lit tle more,
look up to the (Cmaj7)sky, not just the floor.
I feel like my (Dm7)life is flash ing by
and all I can (Am7)do is watch and cry.
I (A7)miss the (Dm7)air, I miss my (G7)friends, I miss my (Cmaj7)moth er, I miss it when
life was a (Dm7)par ty to be thrown,
but that was a (Am)mil (G)lion (Dm)years (Em)a (Am)go.
When I walk a (Dm7)round all of the streets
where I grew (Cmaj7)up and found my feet,
I they can’t (Dm7)look me in the eye, it’s like they’re scared of (Am7)me.
I (A7)try to (Dm7)think of things to say,
that like a joke (Cmaj7)in or mem o ry.
But they don’t my (Dm7)rec og nize me now, in the light of (Am)day.
I know I’m (Dm7)not the on ly one
who re grets the things they’ve done.
Some times I just (Dm7)feel it’s on ly me.
who nev er the be (Am7)came tion who they thought they’d be.
I (A7)wish I could (Dm7)live a lit tle more,
look up to the (Cmaj7)sky, not just the floor.
I feel like my (Dm7)life is flash ing by
and all I can (Am7)do is watch and cry.
I (A7)miss the (Dm7)air, I miss my (G7)friends, I miss my (Cmaj7)moth er, I miss it when
life was a (Dm7)par ty to be thrown,
but that was a (Am)mil (G)lion (Dm)years (Em)a (Am)go.
(Am)go.
A mil (G)lion (Dm)years (Em)a (Am)go.
