Remember when it was a simpler time
It's only getting harder as the days go by
Remember when she could just sit and breathe
Be happy, a time with less worry
She has to put the past behind her, lock it up
But don't throw away the key
Sitting in a crowded room
Deflecting the energy
Unexplained sadness makes my vision blurry
Remember when each night didn't end with crying
Loving myself didn't used to be so trying
She has to put the past behind her, lock it up
But don't throw away the key
She wants to grow up as fast as she can
Despite the hardships that she's got to go through
Once you take off the heart-shaped lenses everything gets blue
Days go by slowly, and everything feels so lonely
She has to put the past behind her, lock it up
But don't throw away the key
She has to put the past behind her, lock it up
But don't throw away the key
