What Happened

It was my first day At my new school I wanted to be popular I wanted to be cool So I changed some things about me I became somebody new I was making lots of new friends All my dreams were coming true Chorus What happened to the old me I’ll never really know I neglected all my old friends Didn’t think that it would show Every thing was changing Right before my eyes So a made a lot of stuff up And I told a lot of lies My life was really changing So was my attitude My old friends wouldn’t talk to me Didn’t know what I should do I thought to myself “They’re jealous” But my friend said “Look and see” As I looked into the mirror The person I saw just wasn’t me Chorus I continued to look in the mirror And I began to cry My friend was looking at me Deep into my eyes She told me that I’d hurt her When I wanted to find new friends She wondered what she did to me To make out friendship end I told her she did nothing And I asked what I should do She said just try just being you I took the advice from my old friend And tried just being me It makes you so much happier Try it and you’ll see Chorus
