Life Doesn't Go as Planned

🎵 Life Doesn't Go as Planned *[Verse 1]* I used to think if I worked hard enough Every broken road would straighten up That good hearts always found their way And every storm would fade someday But I've watched good people lose their dreams And learned that life ain't what it seems Sometimes you give everything you've got And still end up with what you never wanted *[Pre-Chorus]* We hide the tears behind a smile Say “I'm okay” for one more mile Nobody knows the weight we carry When we're walking home alone *[Chorus]* Life doesn't always go as planned Sometimes the world slips through your hands You lose some dreams, you lose some friends You learn that nothing stays the same Life doesn't always treat you right Some days you barely make it through the night But when the morning finds my window I'll get up and try again I don't know where this road will end But I'm still standing where I am *[Verse 2]* I've trusted words that turned to lies Watched forever turn into goodbye People I thought would never leave Became another memory I've chased a life I couldn't reach Learned some lessons no one teaches And every scar beneath my skin Reminds me where I've already been *[Pre-Chorus]* Maybe strength is not pretending That nothing ever hurts inside Maybe strength is simply waking up And giving life another try *[Chorus]* Life doesn't always go as planned Sometimes the world slips through your hands You lose some dreams, you lose some friends You learn that nothing stays the same Life doesn't always treat you right Some days you barely make it through the night But when the morning finds my window I'll get up and try again I don't know where this road will end But I'm still standing where I am *[Bridge]* I don't need to win every fight I don't need to always be alright If I'm tired, I'll take some time Then put these old shoes back on Maybe happiness was never gold Maybe it's having someone to hold A warm meal and a peaceful night And waking up to morning light *[Final Chorus]* Life doesn't always go as planned Now I think I understand Some things leave and some things stay Some dreams simply change along the way Life doesn't always treat us right But I'm still here, and that's alright I've walked through rain, I've walked through pain And somehow found my way again I may not have the perfect life But I'm still living mine *[Outro]* No perfect road No perfect plan Just another day... And here I am.
