Those years were filled with joy, and sadness.
Filled with lies, bad decisions and nervousness.
Conceited, I know I was. Selfish and Greedy.
Bad influence, but joyful. Happy and free.
I was depressed, and lonely. Being fake was the way to be.
Loving life, friends, drama, and stupid scene kids. I guess I shouldn't talk.
Sneaking, lying, but hey it was cool.
Risking our lives, risking our friendships.
Summer nights of sneaking out. But we should all know what that's about.
You don't really know who is really there for you when push comes to shove. But I knew that day would come, being sent away from everyone I love.
Sadness and fear rolled through my mind.
As being gone so long would put me in a bind.
I needed to get my life straightened. Find out who is really there for me.
It opened my eyes, to help me see.
I realized what was more important to me.
Starting over would be best.
So I moved to Papillion to be with the rest.
Here I should graduate, fortunately I can.
Here I can start making a plan.
