Looking back on my years
and how they've gone,
Realizing that I'm not myself,
and haven't been for so long
That sweet little boy
who always seemed to care,
I don't have to look hard
to know that he isn't there
I can see where it all started
How I slipped away
even as everyone else
tried to get me to stay
Sinking into a pit,
one created by myself
Hiding my battered heart
up upon a shelf
I think it's time to leave
to find me once more
and a place for me
where I wasn't before
I don't know where I'm going
or how to get there
but there's still a place for me
it just isn't here |
