These are the best years of your life

They’ll say and actually mean it

Within so much right 

I am caught up with my feelings

I’ll smile for real

But I can’t help but feel there is more

The curtains are teal

All the anger is stored 

I try to live the standards I really do

But it's easier when they are possible 

Is that me or is it you too

When I fail I’ll be held accountable 

For all the things I’ve done 

In the end, None of it was really wrong 

These are the worst years

The best is yet to come

The future might be a fear

But in the meantime try for fun
