Where did the times go, they flied by
Cause I Remember back when I used to cry
Over the smallest thing, and the littlest detail
And when I lied to my parents after the principal’s email

And yeah I felt myself creeping down into a shell
Going deeper only to find another painful hell
Now I drop bars, just to mask my pain
Like everytime I sing, I take off another chain

As a kid, I didn’t wanna be famous
I just wanted more fun, I liked being aimless
The dreams I had were my paradise
Little did I know that it wouldn’t suffice

Cause I was a kid, I was just ten
Never knew you or knew what it all meant
How was a kid, supposed to know
That all I pursued had to melt like the snow

All I held dear, reduced to tears
My innocence lost to my growing up years
My life once depended on dreams and delusions
The life that I see dqnow’s a child’s illusions

From boy to man
My life’s unfolded like a fan
But I’m attached to these strings
My life was filled with these things
Yeah I had it all, but I left it all to spend
Couldn’t even comprehend
Back when we used to play pretend
Was it worth it in the end?
Was it worth it in the end?
Was it worth it in the end?
Was it worth it in the end?

My happiest memories
Took me back to when I was three
Heard the sky dripping heavy rain
Had fun playing with my toy trains
Laughing, smiling, my mom be dialing
Go to church, eat food, make new friends
My daily routine was so normal
How I wished that I could lose the formal

Still a kid, didn’t want to grow up
I was fine drinking out of my kiddie cup
14 years later, to where I am now
I was asking God, “Where art thou!”
Thunder crashed, lightning screamed
Even my left hand turned to smithereens
I felt my tears go down my dirty cheeks
Forming rivers down these rusty peaks

Yeah I tried so hard, had gone so far but
I ended up in a muddy rut
And when the rain clouds poured
In a second I was straight out floored
The earth seemed to rumble and grumble
My heavy steps turned to careless stumbles
But when I stepped back to take a look
My life opened up like a book

From boy to man
Life’s unfolded like a fan
But I’m attached to many strings
Yeah my life filled with all these things
Yeah I had it all, but I left it all to spend
Couldn’t even comprehend
When we used to played pretend
Was it worth it in the end?
Was it worth it in the end?
Was it worth it in the end?
Was it worth it in the end?

I looked back and I thought I was empty
Forgot those I loved, even those who had left me
Now my story’s different, Now my story’s changed
My life has been shaped by my toil and pain
I spent so much time just trying to please
When life’s true purpose is go with His breeze
I spent so much time making the most of my work
Now I look back, and I ask myself

Was it worth it in the end?
Was it worth it in the end?
Was it worth it in the end?
Was it worth it in the end?
