I Used To

I Used To

 

I used to love to look through the window

And watch all the children play

I used to sit and talk with my friends

And hear about everyone’s day

I used to read and write for hours

And wonder where my day went

I used to go camping by the lake

I would sleep outside, in my tent

I used to make a wish on the stars

And sometimes my wishes came true

I used to be so happy

But now I just feel so blue

I don’t want to get out of bed

I don’t want to go outside

I’m sure it’s all in my head

But I hear people whispering about me

It’s as though I became old overnight

I just wish I could break free

I want to be young and happy again

I want my friends to come back

I need to be okay with everything

I used to have everything I now lack
