Why do we have to grow up? Why can't we stay kids forever Skipping, dancing, running though life Unafraid Unashamed Unchanged by the world You are changing So am I We no longer burst into laughter about silly things Happiness written across our faces Instead, You laugh with them And I hollowly smile I dont know if your just playing along, Trying to fit in, Or maybe that's just who you are now Because I can't ignore how much you've changed I smile, As if I still know you As if you aren't a stranger to me We dont talk about things too emotional Or personal Whenever I try and really talk to you You look at me weird Like I'm out of step Like I'm not supposed to want to know your life We used to share everything I knew what music you liked What you ate for dinner If you were happy or sad Now you wont even tell me how your day was You've changed so much I've desperately tried not too Held onto my childhood While it seems like you've abandoned it You've changed so much I don't even know you anymore I don't recognize the boy standing in front of me He is a stranger to me And I am a stranger to him Who in another life Were friends But you've changed so much
