I change my moods as you talk to me less
Why you weren't there is anyone's guess
Repelling as easily as I have attracted
Learning that nothing lasts forever.
I was being my best self, selflessly
Trying on social altruism, a place for all
A den for hedonism and parties
But now you never call.
The one in the middle, must hold it together
When I fell apart, fragmentation
Thoughts of it lasting forever
Rumination and contemplation.
My core knew it was unsustainable
I was moving toward my destiny
One final summer of debauchery
Now I'm the one gathering infamy.
Lessons learned, in the end
Growing up together, of all ages
I'm glad I can still call you friend
It was only one of those stages.

I change my moods as you talk to me less
Why you weren't there is anyone's guess
Repelling as easily as I have attracted
Learning that nothing lasts forever.
I was being my best self, selflessly
Trying on social altruism, a place for all
A den for hedonism and parties
But now you never call.
The one in the middle, must hold it together
When I fell apart, fragmentation
Thoughts of it lasting forever
Rumination and contemplation.
My core knew it was unsustainable
I was moving toward my destiny
One final summer of debauchery
Now I'm the one gathering infamy.
Lessons learned, in the end
Growing up together, of all ages
I'm glad I can still call you friend
It was only one of those stages.
