The Death of Childhood
They say I’m just a part of life
They say they miss me but yet let me die
I only wish one would not just remember
I only wish one would care enough to let me live
I let your imagination run wild
I let your mind see the magic
I gave you insight to the world
I gave you the beginnings of who you are
Yet you say you must grow up now
You say you must leave me behind
You say you cannot bring me with you
You say I’m just short period of time
I’m gone now and you say you miss me
I’m gone now but yet you live on
I’m dead yet you’re alive without me
Was my whole life just a lie?
