Tired

Things change from time to time People change and grow They cut their hair, buy new clothes And forget what they used to know. They move from stage to stage of development They sing a new song They change everyday And discover what was inside all along. Personalities grow and move around And move with feelings of regret They carry memories that linger And things they'd rather forget. They carry the bad days with them And the good days as well They carry the voices of loved ones And quotes that place them under a spell. But we all grow tired at some point And we stop carrying our load We drop everything, shrivel, and die With no more time for us to grow. We fall apart every day With burdens upon our shoulders With heavy hearts and laden souls And pain the size of boulders. We become exhausted after crying for so long And we don't want to feel anymore So we cut outrselves away from the world In a way filled with blood and gore. People change every day They move on like old movies, so sappy Well, here's a newflash; I never changed Just got tired of pretending I was happy.
