Did I grow up too fast?

Maybe I grew up too fast? 

I left home 

To be on my own 

I left the memories I once made in the past 

The friends I once had 

All in the past 

 

I thought I was living life to the fullest 

Until I started to feel numb 

All there is now is a feeling 

A feeling of emptiness 

That makes you question 

What if I never left? 

 

Maybe all I needed was another year to start my life

Another year to make more memories 

Another year to be around everyone 

 

Fill my head with more knowledge 

Maybe then I’d understand the concept of life a little more 

Maybe then I’d understand myself a little bit more 

 

Did growing too fast make me the way I am now? 

Wanting to shut myself out from the rest of the world 

Wanting to go back in time 

To take advantage of the many more memories 

Memories that could’ve been made.

 

But who would actually understand that? 

As were all trying to escape the life we’re living 

Not realizing we’re leaving the best moments behind 

Not savoring the time we had 

 

It’s a blur now 

The only thing we have now 

Is the life we’re living.
