Take me back
To what what we had.
We were just kids.
We didn't know
That one day
We would have to say "goodbye."
So we decided not to say goodbye.
Just walk out,
Say "you'll see me someday again"
Tears in our eyes.
As we turned our backs.
We couldn't help it.
We were just kids.
Five years old, friends since two.

Now, I came back here
Just to see you and everyone else.
But I changed.
You moved on.
Replaced me with another friend.
I couldn't say anything.
What's wrong with me?
And the rest of you ask,
"Why don't you speak,
You used to speak when we
Were all in kindergarten."
I don't know.
I haven't known.
I haven't, in six years.
I'm sorry.
