(Verse) Virginia Woolf and poetry No one seemed to notice me Bein' young was gettin' so old Cheap beer and cigarettes Life was like a movie set And I seemed to be given no role
(Pre-Chorus) But in times of trouble I can turn to my mother And I know that she gon understand So at age twenty two I cried to my mother And she told me, 'young man',
(Chorus) 'There are moments when u fall to the ground But u are stronger than u feel u are now U don't always have to speak so loud, no Just be as u are Life is not always a comfortable ride Everybody's got scars that they hide And everybody plays the fool sometimes, yeah Just be as u are!'
(Verse 2) They played me on the radio And everythin' was changin', so I thought I was all the way grown But I can still remember in that cold November When I realized I'm all alone
(Pre-Chorus)
(Chorus) 'There are moments when u fall to the ground But u are stronger than u feel u are now U don't always have to speak so loud, no Just be as u are It doesn't matter if u become some star Life is betta when u open ur heart U don't always have to act so hard, no Just be as u are!'
(Bridge) If I'm speakin' truthfully I'm not who I used to be And I know some people might laugh Cos' my music doesn't sound the same And my head's no longer shaved I'm worried if I'm on the right path
