I Wish Someone Told Me

I wish someone told me
Life was going to be this way

I wish someone told me
Struggles were not going, were here to stay

I wish someone told me
I always had to be strong

I wish someone told me
I had to wipe my own tears and sing myself my own song

I wish someone told me
He doesn't live up there anymore

I wish someone told me
Prayers of only the mean are answered,
Being nice has a reward no more.

I wish someone told me
Stars that shine are balls of fire

I wish someone told me
Toiling it out is all you do, leaving behind all desire.

I wish someone told me
I wish someone did
I wish someone told me
Life was like this, and will also be.
