The whole idea of it makes me feel
like i'm missing something....
Friends disappear
Life swings by way too fast

Started a new life
not what it seems to be
School gets harder the older you get

Left my old friends
my old life
the past leaves just as soon as the future arrives

More homework, responsibility, and less fun
Everyone's got something that needs to be done!
Its so boring no more trick or treating, I'm too old,
no more toys or playing....

But i guess that's what happens when you grow up
