Well, Good Riddance -Original- with lyrics

Well, Good Riddance Original
Recent events have got me thinking a lot about my childhood. It made me dig up this song, change it up a bit and finally finish it. (Sorry about the end 😅 I spent about 2 and 1/2 hours trying to get it right) 🖤🤠
Lyrics:
I couldn't afford braces when I was just a kid
So I wore crooked smile and hated everything I did
I'd come home with bruises cuz the kids they weren't too kind
It wasn't any kind of metaphor when I was the punchline
I was told to keep quiet
CPS is on the line
Tell your sister that you love her Pretend everything is fine
I still got to see my father once a week when I was nine
Had to separate my homes And leave my feelings all behind
It's too late for being sad
I'm grown now I can't be mad
It's too late for wishing different
Well it's all gone, well good riddance
I learned to suffer in silence And love like no one's there
Cuz if anyone ever was They'd always disappear
Learn to sell myself short To live another day
Learn to lose what I could When I had to run away
I fought with myself Until the war was done
Then I looked in the mirror Couldn't tell who had won
I guess it goes to show You can't fight what you don't know
who I am today Well just I'm reaping what I sow
It's too late for being sad
I'm grown now I can't be mad
It's too late for wishing different
Well it's all gone, well good riddance

I don’t have the words to describe it….so I’m going to say thank you.

[@lindajoy7208]

Bless your heart. That was good therapy though it may not feel like it. Life can be really tough can't it. Loved your song. Just discovered you and subscribed.

I wonder if all of us that fee like that got together? Would it be everyone or would it be jus let a few staring at our boots kicking the dirt. Let’s hope it’s not everyone but I guess it explains things if it is. It takes a very special person to be able to put it into words and craft a song around it as well. Beauty wears many faces../ and that’s a beautiful song. World could sure use more people as honest as you, thanks for sharing Les.
