Former Child Stars

who we were in High School, who we were.

 

Some of you used to refer to me by a nickname

And I would light up whenever I heard a familiar voice

But those days are too few and far between

And im forgetting all your faces

 

I used to be so important

Touching so many lives

But that was then and this is now

I am no longer that popular high school clown

 

I used to tell people that I loved them

And it was all too true

But the people are off and scattered

No one left, not him or even you

 

You used to call me every day

And we’d talk till we were sleeping

But my phone is cold and my ear is too

I guess you found a better shoulder

 

To help you out while you are grieving

To cry on, rely on, but you know I’ve always cared

I’ve lost everything I’ve loved

And I was far from prepared

 

So when I hear that nickname

I toss a glance and look

But no familiar faces

Are written in my book
