Angels don't die

14. 2021

I wanna go back to 2021
At least for one day
When I wasn't crying every day
When I knew what happiness was
When I had friends
When I was in love
When I haven't heard my favorite songs yet
When I didn't need money
When my grandparents were alive
When I thought the future would be better
When I wanted to be an adult
When I wanted to be beautiful and thought I would be happy
I wanna go back to 2021

I didn't know what the future was hiding
But so much has happened in the last 3 years
I've changed so much, I've grown up
Why did I think my parents loved each other?
Why was it so easy for me?
Why did I think that war was fantastic?
Why did I think I wouldn't be alone?
I wanted to be like everyone else
But now I'm afraid to be like that

They were there for me then
I could still hear my grandma's voice then
Back then, I still thought I could fix it
I still loved this life
And I didn't understand why people killed themselves
Well, now I understand
Oh, he said I wasn't good enough
Oh, then I'll change and get better
Will I win his heart? Yeah?
Sorry, but I already know his answer

Ooh, I think the sun was shining brighter
I think the grass was greener
I was breathing easier
I didn't write about it, about what I'm writing now
Then the angels were on my side
Back then, time didn't flow so fast

I wanna go back to 2021
At least for one day
When I wasn't crying every day
When I knew what happiness was
When I had friends
When I was in love
When I haven't heard my favorite songs yet
When I didn't need money
When my grandparents were alive
When I thought the future would be better
When I wanted to be an adult
When I wanted to be beautiful and thought I would be happy
I wanna go back to 2021
