I think I'm growing up,
I don't need the same things a child does,

But I need love,
I need your love.

You give me air to breathe,
Warm arms to melt into,

You give me a reason to be,
Let's keep being.

When you fly high
The fall is hard

If I had my own shoes
On I would have ran away
Around the block maybe
Oh the way she contradicts
Herself across the years
It's almost funny
Yes I could have ran
Like she does because
She just can't put up with them
Well I can't either, but she just
Has to leave them with me
Heck, I should have run to Starbucks,
Sit there until
rotting in my own thoughts
We all worry ourselves sick
Buy myself a drink so I won't
Look silly just being there
Except I can't run now
Because everyone ditched me
With them before I even
thought of running

I can’t stay here anymore.
In this friendless land where
I can only watch the ones I love, love others
and talk to ghosts about my fake lovers.

This land turned me into an attention ***** -
Who settles for the lovers too afraid to love me
and not-so-secret admirers who stare from a distance.
Is this what I deserve?

This land tricked me.
It knows I’ve always loved you and never me.
That's why it gave me a taste of true friendship
before sending you away.

This land forced me to love alone
younger than any child should.
I live in a world made with love,
yet I can’t find anyone with love for me.

Am I really living real life?
