An old song plays at the back of my mind
We were still young and life was kind
Flashbacks taking me to a different scene
When searching for your way back home was easy to find
I’m running from room to room, playing hide and seek
Yelling at my sister ''don't you dare look'' as I sneak
and as I start to look for my perfect hiding place
She counts down, getting ready to chase
A familiar room, a familiar scent
When things would seem exactly as they meant
Running to my safest place, I jump into grandpa's bed
Laughing out loud as I cover my face
Didn't know back then how did it feel
To lose someone you can't replace
School’s first day, new bags and shoes
When the only real issue was which color to choose
Back when I was still learning how to spell and count
Before all the worries started to amount
School's play ground and my favorite games
Now all I have got left are picture frames
Dad's bedtime stories and when he tucks me in
Kissing my forehead goodnight and I answer back with a grin
Couldn't sleep without my favorite toy to hold
Wish that I never had to grow old
Swinging high, reaching out to touch the sky
Running around the park, trying to catch a colorful butterfly
Didn't realize then how fast time flies by
Going through my childhood albums, thinking how I looked like that
Trying to match my new features, with the ones I once had
My eyes are still the same, but they are bitter now
I used to have so much fun, now I don't even know how
Jumping up and down my own bed, things were simple when I was
a kid
Candy and favorite cartoons made my days
When I used to believe in all fairytales
Now all I have is a dusty shelf
Filled with all the lost pieces of myself
When the source of my joy
Was a little plastic toy
Now I don't even know what I want
Don't you wish that you have stayed a happy innocent child for good?
