Life used to be simple
Until time went by me
I used to smile
Now all I do is frown
There was a time when giving was easy
People used to be happy
Now it’s harder and harder
As people only want more and more
When did it all change?
When did we become users, used and abused?
How long has it been since I took a breathe?
When was the last time I lived for me?
Life used to be so fun
Love was a pleasure not a chore
My heart used to feel light with the prospect
Now it’s heavy with doubt
There was a time when touching someone was exciting
People could be trusted
Now it’s not the same
As people don’t know what they want
When did it all change?
When did we become users, used and abused?
How long has it been since I took a breathe?
When was the last time I lived for me?
Life used to be special
Everything was unique and meant for me
I used to live for the thrill of living
Now I dread waking up
There was a time when people cared for each other
People used to help
Now they hide
As people fear to be needed
When did it all change?
When did we become users, used and abused?
How long has it been since I took a breathe?
When was the last time I lived for me?
Life is a drag as it pushes down on my shoulders
Everything is no longer a challenge
It’s a burden that must be carried
I cringe at the sound of the phone or a knock at the door
There are times when I only want to hide
From those who say they love me
Now they fight for the pieces of my soul
The pieces that are left
When did it all change?
When did we become users, used and abused?
How long has it been since I took a breathe?
When was the last time I lived for me?
Life can be different if we try
Everything can change
Things will never be the same
But they can be more than what they are
There can be hope
From all the corners of the world
There can be peace
If we want it
When did it all change?
When did we become users, used and abused?
How long has it been since I took a breathe?
When was the last time I lived for me?
Life is what life is
Life is what we make it
Life can be what you want
Life is short
How do you want to live yours?
