Growing Up, Growing Apart

Do I sometimes cross your mind? Does it bring a smile to your face? To be honest, for me it brought up a lot of nostalgia Had this terrible habit of self-inflicting pain And I'd do that by remembering you Saw you on my screen today For the first time I saw the new you I wouldn't say I'm indifferent because of our history I'm close to accepting we've grown apart You've seen it too, we've grown apart A late bloomer in learning to let you go Well isn't that kinda flattering for you to hear? Someone secretly missing you What a special person you must be So what, if it took me about seven years to accept we've changed? It's cause I know that little kid's still somewhere in you I'll always adore her and the growing up we did together Just hope you let her have a say in your life once in a while A part of me was stuck, wishing I could go back in time But the 'Curious case of Benjamin Button' Is only a movie, I had to grow up I've observed you, you've grown up A late bloomer in learning to let you go Well isn't that kinda flattering for you to hear? Someone secretly missing you What a special person you must be So what, if it took me about seven years to accept we've changed? It's cause I know that little kid's still somewhere in you I'll always adore her and the growing up we did together Just hope you let her have a say in your life once in a while I'll make a toast to our future A different one than I used to have for breakfast I wish you well and I mean it I won't forget and I can now remember you fondly Running around on the grass Picking up flowers, unless they were Saint Mary's eyes If we were lucky, we'd find a four leaf clover And put it safely between the pages of a book Stick a piece of wheat grass between our teeth Pretend it was a cigarette, to feel older Oh those games we used to play And all the silly words that made us giggle Love the simplicity of happiness back then It all deserves a special place in my heart So what, if it took me about seven years to accept we've changed? It's cause I know that little kid's still somewhere in you I'll always adore her and the growing up we did together Just hope you let her have a say in your life once in a while So what, if it took me about seven years to accept we've changed? It's cause I know that little kid's still somewhere in you I'll always adore her and the growing up we did together Just hope you let her have a say in your life once in a while
