What Happens

What happens to ourselves
That make us always change
From the innocence of youth
To having hatred in our veins

Is it the way that we are living
Or the friends we are around
Or is it just our human race
And our hatred we are bound

We walk around and say nice things
But do we really care
Or is it all a cover-up
To act like we're sincere

We go around and smile at all
As if we're all best friend
But the truth behind it all untold 
Is each only has few they would defend

So still the question that remains
What happens in our life's
That changes the very soul of all
Our innocence we leave behind
