As a child, everyone was so free
Everything was calmer then, a stillness
It echoed in everything, calming me
I never thought I would get so lifeless
It's a hard thing, leaving everyone back
Behind in a time that you thought would last
But as the memories fade into black
And all you can do is watch time fly past
Forever looking back at what once was
Grasping onto hope they still think of you
It hurts that I need to, yet it's because
I have to look back to hold onto what's true
So sorry I left; it wasn't my choice
I want you to know I'm gaining my voice
