[Verse]
I was a lonely kid always getting picked on
I had to learn to survive all by myself
I learned in this life you can't trust, and that's why I ended up getting my heart crushed
Mom couldn't pay the bills so I had to go and get it out the mud
Dad left before I could even walk
Wish he stayed just so we could talk
Now I'm sitting here crying in my room
Just remembering all the pain I went through
[Chorus]
If only I could stay a kid again(again)
So I didn’t have to grow up so fast(fast)
Before I knew how the nights got cold
And the light got dark
Cause I wanna stay in my own little world
And not think about life anymore
[Verse]
Things still ain’t easy I got a job that don’t pay for shit
And I got rent due and I can’t pay it
All these hardships got me left with questions
I just wish I could go back to being a kid again
Cause I would give it all just to do it again
To believe in a world that doesn't exist
To give my mom what she never had
To be the man she needs right now
[Chorus]
If only I could stay a kid again(again)
So I didn’t have to grow up so fast(fast)
Before I knew how the nights got cold
And the light got dark
Cause I wanna stay in my own little world
And not think about life anymore
[Bridge]
I've lost so many things in my life
Just wanted to shine bright
To be the man I knew I could be
And to show that I got no chains attached to me
I'll be that kid again and strive for greatness
[Final Chorus]
If only I could stay a kid again(again)
So I didn’t have to grow up so fast(fast)
Before I knew how the nights got cold
And the light got dark
Cause I wanna stay in my own little world
And not think about life anymore
[Outro]
Don't worry mom I won't give up
I'll strive to be better
I'll be the father that I never had
And I'll make you proud
Cause I'd do anything to be that kid again
