lyrics

Supposed to be on top now
Supposed to have it all figured out now
Supposed to be on TV
It should’ve been easy
Maybe I’ll move to a new place
And all of my problems will go away

Growing up left a bad taste in my mouth
Don’t know what I’m supposed to do now

Is it always gonna be like this?
Don’t say it’s gotta to be like this
Is it always gonna be like this?
Don’t say it’s gotta to be like

Still in my childhood bedroom
Still feeling like a kid without the headroom
Still feeling like I’ll always be this way
Maybe when I lose the weight
Then it will all be okay

If I’d known then what I know now
Would I even change a thing?
Or live through it again just to end up more bitter?
Is it always gonna be like this?
Don’t say it’s gotta be like this
Don’t think that I can take it if this is all that there is

Growing up left a bad taste in my mouth
Hope that somehow it all works out

Is it always gonna be like this?
Don’t say it’s gotta to be like this
Is it always gotta be like this?
Don’t say it’s gonna to be like this
Is it always gonna be like this?
Don’t say it’s gotta to be like this
Is it always gotta be like this?
Don’t say it’s gonna to be like
