Ben Lou Trast Aug 2011
I spent my youth
My teenage youth
Wishin' and hopin'
Dreaming for an occasion
Thinking it would end
All of lives little miseries

Then it came
The moment I'd waited for
No problems were solved
More were just created
And how I did terribly wish
I was back to the time before

It was joyous, it was wonderful
For a while it was everything
But these things change
These things get complicated
And how I did terribly wish
I was back to the time before

Perhaps not really
As not everything I'd want to undo
But just the chance to feel
Feel less confused
Feel less heartbroken
Feel less destroyed
Feel like there was hope
To live a life less complicated

I look to my past
The life I had
The life I wanted to continue
The life I wished to create
The life I planned
I look at this all
And how I do terribly wish
I was back to the time before

I look to the future
All I see is bleakness
Dreams that will never be
Never be fully achieved
Never be fully enjoyed
I know the reason why
The reason why I now
Terribly do wish
I was back to the time before

— The End —
