How I See It

(albüm: 12:34 - 2022)

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
