A long time ago
It seemed that life
Was so much easier
My worries were few
And there always seemed to be
Another day
We were young
Perhaps naive
Idealistic
Filled with so much hope
In the mirror
I see reflections
That are hardly familiar
I close my eyes
But the images stay
In my mind
I'm so confused
Perhaps fatigued
Pessimistic
Filled with not much hope
And if you think I'm wrong
Just try to disprove me
And if you think I'm wrong
Just try to convince me
Cause after so much pain
It's easier to choose
The darkest path
Where there's nothing to lose
You can try
And I will laugh
Cause I've seen it before
The summer sunset
The warmth of a touch
Mean nothing to me
I've been betrayed
Perhaps deceived
Realistic
No need for much hope
