Childhood's Gone for Good Lyrics

Clock hits three, bell rings

HAGS exchanged, pack my things

It's hard to believe elementary's all behind be

Who knows what things the future's gonna bring

But one thing's for sure

Now my childhood's gone for good

In middle school, no longer have a curfew

I stay up too late cuz there's nothing to do

Make atheist friends cuz my parents told me not to

Loneliness looms but homework's always due

Everything I've been through

Now I know my childhood's gone for good

Graduation day, don't know most of my class

Didn't know four years could pass me fast

I never went to parties, never had my first kiss

So many core memories that I have missed

You can't have regrets when you're just a kid

I guess this means my childhood's gone for good

A college kid, I'm fighting with my head

Taking prozac before bed, smoking weed when I can

I'm starting to think instead it might be better being dead

Than working just for pay til my heart gives way

I used to be so much like my dad

But I've changed now because my childhood's gone for good

I'll be twenty in just six days

Keep thinking about money and a future family

But all I want to do is make friends and sing

I'm not ready yet to hide away my dreams

But it's silly, cuz you can't be twenty

Without leaving your childhood behind for good

My pup is getting up there in the years

Her muzzles grey, and she's deaf in both ears

When I hold her close, I can't hold back my tears

Because I know her date's getting near

And when she gets too tired to keep living here

I know with her my childhood will be gone for good
