Everyone tells you
they're the best years of your life.
The thing they don't tell you
is they are full of strife.

From a child to a teen, 
in less than a year.
A teen has a little fun, 
but it's mostly fear.

As a teen you feel locked up,
as a child you're free.
A child has no worries...
which would you rather be?

A teen knows the meaning of love,
so when they're hurt they fall.
The worries of being accepted 
are the hardest part of all.

What's "the best"
about these years
when as a teen
you live with tears?
