It Was Different
December 1, 2014
It was different, we were young
We’d run all night and day
just kids looking for some fun
Now these shelves hold the things I've done
It was different, we were young
used to be just for fun
Didn't want to get older
What have I begun?
knew myself before I knew anyone
It was different, we were young
Used to run all night and day
now the sun never shines
wasting time away
lost everything I ever loved
I left myself in the alleyway
