Putting Memories To Words

My 9 to 5 is alright But my dream job's kinda like a curse I look back upon my hard times And relive them in each verse I'm recounting, and its astounding All the things that made me hurt It's not easy being me Putting memories to words Memories of how I felt when she left me Memories of those that I've lost The cost is high they live and die In each one of my works It's not easy being me Putting memories to words Hind sights 20/20 Now I see where I went wrong And a smart man would leave the past Right where it belongs I've tried to paraphrase my better days But it never seems to work So here I am again, livin' through my pen Putting memories to words Memories of how I felt when she left me Memories of those that I've lost The cost is high they live and die In each one of my works It's not easy being me Putting memories to words If someone sings it, someone's lived it Its kind of like a curse Here I am again, livin' through my pen Putting memories to words
