Stuck in the Past

Dark hair, dark eyes,
And he's found a darker side to life
I couldn’t hold him back, for long
Gone are the days
When we would laugh the time away
I really miss them now,
But you’ve seemed to somehow,
Forgotten who you were when we were small.
You can’t handle it all.
I’m not trying to hold you back
I’m not trying to keep you here
We all cut you some slack
We knew the time was near
But we never could imagine
All the stupid things you’d do
And however hard we tried
The message wasn’t getting through
We know its your choice
And you won’t take no for an answer
You’re more stubborn than us all
But out there there’s much to fear
