Not Always Sweet

One thing I've learned is life will not always be sweet
Sometimes I fall down and take a while to get back on my feet
Remembering times of thinking life would always be sweet
Reality taught me different had to learn to stop talking so much and learn to listen
Dreamed of going to college one day felt like the dream went away
Just to put it plan and simple I have bills to pay
Just happy making it from day to day
Seems like to me when you going through the struggle everybody stays away
Everybody who had your back just fades away
One thing I've learned life will not always be sweet
But living and learning seems to be the treat
