Would it really all be worth it in the end?

If things were as easy as they seem?

Would it really all be worth it, my friend?

If life was nothing but a dream?

Would you really find yourself crying when things get hard?

Or smiling genuinely when things go well?

Would you really know how to play your card?

Or what love was in comparison to Hell?

I know you think you know everything

About everything in this life

And I know that you think a diamond ring

Will be the answer to all your strife

But nothing comes that easily

Even if we deny the facts that are true

Nothing comes that easily

Love can be troublesome, too

You just want to runaway

Well, so do I

All you want to do is get away…

So you ask, “Can’t I just skip walking, and fly?”

Everything takes patience

Everything takes time

Anything that is worthwhile to you

Takes hope in this life

So would it really all be worth it in the end?

If things were as easy as they seem?

Do you really think you’d be happy?

If you lived nothing but a dream?
