Ace the Kid

You don't understand social interaction so you hang at the back of the class
You turn in papers and worksheets and always try your best, just hoping to pass
You've lost your heart, you've lost your cool, you've lost everything you used to have
Just slow it down, hey kid, you don't need to take life so fast

You were gifted once at these things that cause you trouble now, they cause so much trouble now
You were an ace before, recently you've begun to struggle oh, how you struggle now
Get back up

You don't understand why life comes so much harder to you now, now that you're older
But you get up, you carry on, you sing your songs, and you are bolder, you are bolder
The winter comes, depression hits, you sleep in fits, and even with your blankets, kid you are colder
You're not alone, there's others here, it's not your weight alone my dear, to shoulder

You were gifted once at these things that cause you trouble now, they cause so much trouble now
You were an ace before, recently you've begun to struggle oh, how you struggle now
Get back up

They called you everything that you were
They praised you, they raised you up on a pedestal, on a dream

You were gifted once at these things that cause you trouble now, they cause so much trouble now
You were an ace before, recently you've begun to struggle oh, how you struggle now
Get back up
