i miss when eveything was new
when the grass was green
and the skies were blue
i was a beauty in my youth
its a shame u never knew
sometimes i miss my old pets
sometimes i get the random urge to hug my sister
sometimes i just wanna tell my family i love them
other days i'd rather be left alone
wallowing in my nostalgia
dreaming of golden days
my dad loves me he
just doesn't show it
and my mom worries she
just doesn't show it
i feel like
the older i get
the less they push back
they want me closer but
i keep my distance
i set my limits
they never want me to grow up
because my growing older,
means they are too
i can't remember the days
before my dad's hair went gray
i can't remember the days before
my mom didn't act like her mother
and though they swore they'd never
i'm afraid i'll become everything
they told me they wouldn't be
i'm afraid of the future.
