I never thought it’d be this way
I never thought that things could change
I guess I always thought we’d be happy
And I don’t know what I’m gonna say
When she brings it up someday
Why ain’t things how they’re supposed to be daddy?
Baby, Life ain’t gonna be no fairytale
The ones you think that love you ain’t always gon’ be there
And even tho you fall don’t expect to get no help
Just promise me one thing
You’ll stay true to yourself
Stay true to yourself
And baby I
I hope that you
Know that I love you
I love you, yeah
Baby I, Hope that you
Know that I love you
I love you, Yeah
I could’ve swore I had it all figured out
I told my dear friend
As soon as I get stable
Things start tumbling down
I just don’t get it
And he said listen
You know you’re different
Where you got it
Them other kids just don’t get it
Just keep preaching the truth
I promise they’ll listen
You could really be the one that makes a difference
It’s up to you what you do with all the attention
Just remember, Kid
That life ain’t gonna be no fairytale
The ones you think that got you
Ain’t always gon be there
And even though you call
Don’t expect to get no help
Just promise me one thing
You’ll stay true to yourself
Stay true to yourself
And homie, I
I hope that you
Know that I got you
I got you, yeah
Homie, I
I hope that you
Know that I got you
I got you, yeah
And when you finally make it home
Remember all of life’s stepping stones
Cause I know you feel
So alone
But you didn’t make it here
On your own
