The Old and the New

It's the same old heart,

In a new shade of blue.

It's the same old song

To a different tune.

You say the same goodbye

With a fresh set of tears.

It's the same ending

To a brand new year.

You get a new cut

On a healing wound;

You try to hide it,

But the pain bleeds through.

You miss your friends,

But don't say anything,

Because they don't have time,

And you don't mean a thing.

You try to move on

Like the rest of them do.

They share their stories,

But you're the same old you.

They say they love you,

But it doesn't sound true.

You think you don't care,

Til they look past you.

They're living their futures;

You're stuck in the past.

They ask you your plans,

But you have nothing like that.

You're dying to leave;

You have nowhere to go

Your friends are all strangers

You just used to know.

You start to wonder

"Would anyone miss me?"

And you sum it all up

By saying you're sorry.
