I'm starting to look back
On all of the good times I had
Being a child was so perfect
No worries
No stress
I miss all the fun times
With my family
We're starting to grow older
Everything's changing
I'm reminded of all of the things we did
It gets lonely reflecting on the past
Mourning for something I can't get back
It hurts to know that nothing will be the same
We'll never all be living under the same roof anymore
The ones I've known my entire life
Are starting to move on
Though I know they'll always come back
I miss them more than I can admit
Countless tears pour out just thinking about it
If only I hadn't taken the time for granted I had with them
I miss always being together
But now at least one of us is always missing
They say not to take your childhood for granted
I hadn't cared about it
But as I slowly leave my childhood behind
I realize that they're right
Growing up hurts
It only makes me reflect on old times
Filled with nostalgia
