It wasn’t a sad goodbye
It was just a normal sunny day
You laughed and played, time didn’t matter or exist
There was only the present moment, present tense
Once upon a time there was only innocence
And monkey bar tricks
Tag you’re it
Bridge to Terabithia rope swinging in
The world had cooties
It was just our chosen few, this was it
There was a moment you never knew existed
You went outside to play for the last time
You just never knew or thought about it
You grew apart didn’t worry or blame each other for the inches
The distance got farther but you adjusted, world kept on spinning
There’s only here
There’s only now
But there’s memories of blanket forts and pillows
I spy with my little eye oh please just one more round
I don’t like to dwell when it comes to the past
That includes yesterday and the day before that
Don’t stress too much about the future either because the end of that movie was sad
That rope swing? It finally snapped
Just like that, it’s all gone in a flash
Your best friend goes to heaven, your next one stabs you in the back
Your heart breaks for the first time surely you’ll never come back from that
Suddenly it’s 10 years later and that heartbreak seems silly compared to the pain you feeling currently
You live in the present but keep getting placed in the past
Always the last one standing
Love just don’t last
Not like it used to
Too many inches
Too much distance
Too many rules that always get broken
Honestly nobody even cares about the person
It’s about status, popularity contest
It’s about mistakes in the past and what you gon do to fix it
It’s about moving too fast, locking it down before insecurities start showing
Open invitation to your personal business before you even build a solid foundation
Crumbling with the rocks wondering why we couldn’t make it
Expecting instant results when you just started a job
Only got 2 options
Work hard for it
Or stay exactly where you are
Beginner level, apprentice
I’m on that next level shit
You duct tape fix it, only do the bare minimum,
You want to build a future, a home, take the next step
You sit on your ass and watch while I pile the bricks
If I said it then I meant that
I stand on that shit
My solid foundation turns to a fortress
So I guess we’re both disappointed
Never wanted to be rescued, I invited you in
Made a safe space for you to lay your head
Trapped inside of our minds, all because you never slayed the dragon outside
The company is nice but I’m not really free
Trapped inside this cage, starting to wonder if I even exist..
what’s the point in living if I can’t take another step
I’m not learning I’m not growing, just another day, just another brick
I was made to be more than a damsel in distress
Too afraid to slay the dragon
Too lazy to carry a brick
Too selfish to build a foundation
Too busy passing the blame, never taking credit for every choice that you made
Sitting in misery wondering why everything’s the same
