This Life Ain't Easy (But It's The One That We All Got) letra

Old friends, they grow old
Some  don't make it at all
Those  times, they were just gold
At the time, they were just small

And the moments we take in
And  the hours that just pass
And  the cities far apart
And the memories, they still last

The  years we get busy
Caught up in this life
Of who we became
No time for thinking twice

If  only someone said
That the days would sometimes end
We'd grow into something new
But we'd miss it in the blend

I got roses on my shades
My eyes are just a glaze
Responsibility was never, ever customary
Our innocence ain't free

Dream out loud and be
And you make me really see
This life ain't easy
But it's the one that we all got

Stories on the street
Tell me TV shows to see
And the music I should hear
Then you take me for a beer

You told me how you crashed your car
Told me how you went too far
No more drinking anymore
No more smoking, no more coke

Now the sun beats through my shades
And my eyes are just a glaze
And my house full of my girls
And my brain's dizzy in a whirl
So much responsibility

Sometimes I cannot breathe
But it's the here and it's the now
I wouldn't change it for the world
'Cause this life ain't easy
But it's the one that we all got

All the choices that I made
And all the f*ck-ups I had to face
All the minutes on my own
And the loneliness I owned

And the hours in my head
And the things I wish I'd said
That I love you more and more
But it came out wrong for sure

And this monkey on my back
Has been living here for years
I got to know him pretty well
He likes to give me all my fears

I'd like to make it on my own
But the friendship's strong within
And I hold that part so tight
'Cause it makes it all so clear

That this life ain't easy
But it's the one that we all got
This life ain't easy
But it's the one that we all got
