I remember when I was happy, I remember when I was sad
I remember when I was jealous, I remember when I was mad
I remember all these feelings that I almost forgot I had Because now I don't have time to feel happy or feel sad.

I remember a young kid, about seven, going on eight
She was self conscious of her body, no matter what she ate
She was mad at all the skinny girls who never gained any weight
However, now she's starved herself to the point where it's almost too late.

I remember an old song that sent a shock of feeling to my core
I remember how it made me feel, it made me feel like I was more
I remember when we danced all night- life with you was not a bore
But now all I feel is that dancing is a chore, and it hurts my heart to know that we won't be dancing anymore.

I remember when I folded all those pretty paper cranes
I remember the way they flew around like tiny airplanes
I remember being oh-so careful, as to not break their string reins
Now all the cranes are gone, they left with no remains

I remember making up my own alphabet
I remember being so excited to use my new outlet
I remember I forgot the letter 'Q' and I got upset
Alas, now I've forgotten my alphabet, and now my notes I'll never get.
