That's Just Life

This is for the people who hold onto tomorrow

For the teens that hide all their sorrow

For the ones that desire to speak out

But the others seem to have a louder shout 

That’s just life

The girl who gets her heartbroken by a player

Or by the crush who won’t date her

The couples that say “I do”

Or the ones in court screaming “Screw you”

That’s just life

The summer nights that make you wish time would stop

And the memories you hold close to your heart

The days you want to be isolated

And the nights you have the courage to say, “Hm, I think I can face it”

The families that are ripped apart

And the kids that obtain a fresh start

That’s just life

Life is filled with sorrow and regret

Those moments that make us break a sweat

But also with happiness and laughter

The days we believe we can actually have a ‘happily ever after’

But most importantly,

It is clustered with lessons

The uncontrollable ups and downs

Directionless paths that lead to smiles and frowns

The peace and the drama

The heartache and the trauma

All shape the future that remains a mystery

Yet seems so known it feels like history

So if you’re ever asked to describe life Think of a man grieving his wife
And say

When you’re sitting there reminiscing through the past Thinking, gosh why couldn’t this last

When you’ve failed and succeeded

And people think you’re so conceited

Knowing your choices are so smart

Until you give the person you love the ability to hold a knife to your heart

That’s when you’ll realize, it’s just life
