I started my life with a suitcase My mom was just a kid, and we both had to grow up Could’ve been left without love, but I was chosen instead By a mom and a dad who would tuck me into bed With a song and a kiss on my forehead
And all my friends could see Is that it must be hard for me
That’s not how I see it Not how I believe it You can call it rose colored glasses, or naive but the fact is Everything could be tragic to me That’s not how I see it Not how I perceive it I don’t wanna live in the past or try to change what I can’t This shit is a blessing to me I don’t hate the world, and I don’t think it hates me And that’s just how I see it
I had a choice when I was real young While other kids were climbing trees my friends life got taken by one Could’ve been scared of the world, whether I like it or not Thinking it shoulda been me, when a scar is all that I got Or maybe not
And all my friends could see Is that it must be hard for me
But that’s not how I see it Not how I believe it You can call it rose colored glasses, or naive but the fact is Everything could be tragic to me That’s not how I see it Not how I perceive it I don’t wanna live in the past or try to change what I can’t This shit is a blessing to me I don’t hate the world, and I don’t think it hates me And that’s just how I see it
Well my love she left me in the winter And in 17 years the wind’s never felt so cold Could’ve been angry as hell, to be honest I was For a second I thought, it was my only chance at love But I know it’s not
And that’s just how I see it That’s how I believe it You can call it rose colored glasses, or naive but the fact is Everything feels like magic to me That’s just how I see it That’s how I perceive it ‘Cause I’m not gonna live in the past or try to change what I can’t This shit is a blessing to me I don’t hate the world, and I know it don’t hate me And that’s just how I see it
