Get This Right

When we were so young
No one couldn't care
Of the times ahead
We would soon be there
Back in class you know they
Wouldn't even dare
To prepare our minds so
We won't be scared
Looking back you know
We had hopeful stares
But beside the fun
Not a thought to spare
All the roads ahead
But they go nowhere
Now we're in a world
We cannot compare
All the time I thought
I could understand
The complex nuance
Of the problem next
Try to keep it up
Then fall down again
Is it when I find
I still lack the game
No one ever told
Of this pulling back
Did they lie because
Want to ease the test
Try to work it out
And fall with a plan
All I wonder now
How it went to hell
So many lives
And I can't still get it right
Too many lies
I've told myself to get by
Not very nice
Too many lies
So many lives
And nothing seems to change with my life
Get this right you can't be wrong
The simple times are long gone
Watch your steps behind your back
The tiniest slip is bad
Easy now you walk alone
The chances are slim you know
All that's left to clear this mess
Is what you made of yourself
Get this right you can't be wrong
The simple times are long gone
Watch your steps behind your back
The tiniest slip is bad
Easy now you walk alone
The chances are slim you know
All that's left to clear this mess
Is what you made of yourself
Can't believe I won't get far
Is this all the work I've done
No one else has paid me back
And asked for another test
Even so it could be worse
Get ready for one more call
All that's left to leave this mess
Is how I control myself
