What ever happened to the girl with the smiles?
Now she sits in her room and cries for a while,
What happened to the fat boy who hated taking pictures?
Hes been replaced by a skinnier prettier picture,
What happened to the girl who never cared what they thought?
She got noticed and loved and now shes a jock,
What happened to the little girl on the inside?
She got scared, ran away, and left to go hide,
These are the kids you used to know,
The ones you once loved,
The once you used to hold,
This is what happens as you get old,
You change your ways for good and gold,
What happened to the artist who could write with paint?
She left out of town and moved far away,
What happened to the skinny boy wannabe rock star?
He discovered Mc Donalds while driving in his car.
What happened to the quiet girl who was allways so good?
She decided to smoke the the girls bathroom,
What ever happened to the emo kid with a gun?
In one muted bang, He decided he was done.
These are the kids you used to know,
The ones you once loved,
The once you used to hold,
This is what happens as you get old,
You change your ways for good and gold,
