Lyrics
How could things be so easy some days

And so hard in times when I could use

I just don't know why you won't take me for myself

You say that I should be somebody

Don't you think that I'd be funny

I've been racking my brain
Expressing frustration and effort in finding ways to make ends meet.
Trying to find a way to make ends meet
Continuing the struggle to find financial stability.
I've been making two bridges

Write you songs that you can sing
Creating songs for the listener to connect with emotionally.
There ain't anybody else that I could be

I ain't no nine to five

If you could only own a mountain made of solid gold

What difference would it make
