We Were Better Off by Elenowen Lyrics

All my hopes and dreams
Scattered like ashes
Up in flames
A quiet disaster

One day something went wrong
Everything changed
Now we're patching these holes
In our souls where a ball and chain

We were better off when we were little children
When our faith came as easy as breathing
When we dreamed we could fly
Hope was shining in our eyes
We were better off when we were little children

We used to fill our days
Running just to pass time
Now life's a race
We're running just to survive
Now our bones are tired
And I have grown weary
There were dreams in my mind
Dreams I could see so clearly

We were better off when we were little children
When our faith came as easy as breathing
When we dreamed we could fly
Hope was shining in our eyes
We were better off when we were little children

Where did you go
Simple little heart of mine
Feels like every year
You're a little more hard to find

We were better off when we were little children
When our faith came as easy as breathing
When we dreamed we could fly
Hope was shining in our eyes
We were better off when we were little children
