Forgetting and Growing

Forgetting who we were

Friends, far and wide, forgetting who we are

Growing and changing, apart and together

And god, we've gotten so far

The years so easily pass us by

Annihilate and create, leaving nothing the same

Day by day we get reason to cry

Night by night our shoulders bend deeper from the shame

Do you remember what it was like when you were young?

Do you recall, however dimly, the fun times you'd had?

And all the songs you'd loved and sung

That had been naught but a passing fad?

I'm not sure what we used to have that we have forgot

And you just know that all our lives, from the very beginning, are shot.
