simpler time

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
