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

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
 Years we get busy
 ♪
 Caught up in this life
 ♪
 Of who we became
 ♪
 No time for thinking twice
 ♪
 If only someone said
 That those 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
 Of innocent and 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
 ♪
 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 brains 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 fuck-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
