Carly pearce it wont always be like this lyrics

I remember how I couldn’t wait to get out
Of my hometown
Now I’m looking for every excuse
To go back on the weekend

I can still see the front porch balcony
Every time I leave
Grandpa waving back at me
Wish I coulda told myself back then

It won’t always be like this
It won’t always be like this
I know nothing lasts forever
But sometimes I still forget
It won’t always be like this

I remember hearing the door slam
22, didn’t have a clue
Who I was, who I could trust
And who were my real friends

I had big wings but didn’t have a sky
Just a front row view
Of everybody flying high
Waiting for my time
Wish I coulda told myself back then

It won’t always be like this
It won’t always be like this
I know nothing lasts forever
But sometimes I still forget
It won’t always be like this, no

Looking at you
Looking back at me
All I wanna do
Is make another memory
And love you like it’s the end

‘Cause it won’t always be like this
It won’t always be like this
No, it won’t always be like this
I know t won’t always be like this

I wish love would last forever
So I could live it all again
It won’t always be like this
It won’t always be like this…

On her self-titled sophomore album, Carly Pearce sends a message to her younger self with the song "It Won't Always Be Like This." Written by the singer with Natalie Hemby and Sam Ellis, the track is a clear favorite of Pearce's -- and, somewhat to her surprise -- among her fans, too.

Read on for the story behind "It Won't Always Be Like This," as told by Pearce.

It's my story in a nutshell. It's what I want for single two. It's -- I just feel like it's me.

It was the last song that I wrote for the album, and Natalie Hemby and I, and Sam Ellis, we really just bonded. Natalie and I grew up a little of the same, we've had a lot of the same hardship in Nashville, and that song really just wrote itself and completely was my story, but it's interesting to now see that that's a universal emotion that people can insert their own stories into.

I think the second verse in its entirely is me speaking to 22-year-old Carly that was watching everybody get record deals and watching everybody succeed, and I was still in Nashville cleaning AirBnBs. Just the spin on that verse of saying to myself, "The heart won't ache forever / No matter how hard it gets" -- I wish I could go back and tell myself at 22 ... "Hold onto who you are, and don't let this town eat you up," because now i'm entering my 30s and I'm going, God, I wish I just would have enjoyed the time a little bit more and not beaten myself up about why I don't have something.
