When I was five life was good life was great

I used to kiss my teddy bears all goodnight

My mom and my dad used to get into fights

And I started to cry when they came in to tell me everything is going to be alright

I used to hide and be afraid in my five year old life

I used to think everything was going to be alright

But now that I'm 18 I know everything WASN'T right

But I used to only care about rainbows and butterfly's

I was living life

Without a doubt I knew everything would turn back on me

I was like cinderalle scared to go to the ball

That her Prince Charming would just let her fall

That's how I felt when I was five

I used to play with my little ponies and make them fetch sticks

But that's how life used to be

In my five year old life

Now I'm in college about to be a freshman

Should I be scared or should I stride

I want to open the book that I never got to open

And start a new chapter that leads to you and me

I want to go to a bridge that leads to terabithia

Should I fix the bridge or should I let it hang loose

In my five year old life

I used to play with Barbies

Dress them up for there hot dates

But now that I'm 18

I have responsibilities that I put on myself

I was scared and lost

But now I know where I am supposed to be

In my five year old life

I used to hate the dark

When I went up to use the potty

I thought things were crawling on me

But now I'm eighteen still mostly afraid

But when I was five

I liked bears bees and honey

And my five year old life was pretty easy
