Reality
You're 17 it's time to grow
Gotta face the world in less than 7 months
Life's hard
You're in the real world now
Welcome to reality
Here there's no gravity
Only tests and trails that are pass or fail
You're in the real world now
You're no longer a kid
Gotta act your age
17 on the brink of being an adult
Close to college gonna graduate soon
Failing a class
One you gotta pass
Gotta get your act together
You can't even drive
How you gonna get to a job
Why you gotta cling to the past
You're in the real world now
Welcome to reality
Where there's no gravity
Gotta hold your own
And learn to survive
Stop dwelling on the past
It's eating you alive
You're losing yourself
But you gotta stay strong
You're in the real world now
Everybody pushing you
Never good enough for mama
Not the daughter she wanted
Too independent and childish
Feeling lost never found
Resentment from the past
The lies are never good enough to last
Your life's filled with false hope and empty promises
How could you think that was gonna change
That's how it's always been
You're in the real world now
No gravity to keep you on the ground
You can't fall apart
No room for tears
No room for fears
Gotta be a big girl
Gotta hold your own
Can't always depend on daddy to see you through
You're in the real world now
You're facing reality everywhere you turn
Regretting the time you wasted living in fear of the monster who haunted you
You hate her now
Wish she was gone
Lost yourself for so long
Got so much resentment
And bitter anger
That you don't know how to let go of
You're trying not to crash and burn
Losing them is just another lesson to learn
But you got someone who needs you now
You can't just leave and take a bow
Gotta face reality
You're in the real world now
In reality
No escape with no gravity
Following a path that's hard to get back
Working to forget your dreadful past
Losin people guess that's life
Because you're in the real world now
And there's no escape from your destiny
Time to grow up
Time to be an adult
Time to let go of the past
And turn your shitty life around
Time to fight
Time to love
Time to prove your better than they think
Time to be good just for you
Time to fight for a time or two
Time to make a better way
Time to be who you've always wanted to be
Because Marcia You're in the real world now
