When I Was Six... (Ed Sheeran)

It always seemed too late

to make a difference in my life,

I never really knew why.

I wanted to play piano

and sing into a mic.

I was six when I was told

I was too old for the keys,

my mum didn’t know

that wasn’t the case.

I was thirteen when

I stopped singing,

my voice having broke,

never to hold a tune again.

I was twenty when I got a guitar,

I taught myself in my room.

Not long after my housemate

smashed it, being dramatic,

and then it was too late.

But, I wrote it down from an early age,

that much I could save.
