There was a time
When things were so much easier
A time when emotions
Weren't so hard to identify
A time when emotions
Weren't so hard to have
I wish I was still a child
Back when things were so simple
I was so very happy
I couldn't believe my luck
To have such a close family
And have even closer friends
But there comes a time
When I have to grow up
My close knit family
Slowly starts to crumble
My even closer friends
Forget I exist
I hate to be alone
But what else can I do?
It's the way it has to be
Who is there to help?
My loving, close knit family
All have their own problems
My even closer friends
Would rather chase shadows
So I'm forced to be alone
While I struggle to realize
That my close knit family
Have greater problems than mine
And my even closer friends
Would rather deal with others
Than deal with me
