I Was Always Young

I was always young

The pictures mean so much now

Photos of those friends that we knew

Who said they'd keep in touch

But they never called us much

I've held up pretty well

While my looks have gone to hell

But what's really strange

Is how little you have changed

I've grown old missing you

Grown old stuck in the past

The future must have stopped somewhere

Or maybe it was never there

But I've grown old at last

You were always young

You picture stayed so faithful

I never saw those friends that we knew

They called out of the blue

They asked how they could reach you

They said they're doing very well

While our friendship went to hell

But I couldn't bear to say

That I've missed you every day

I've grown old missing you

Grown old stuck in the past

The future must have stopped somewhere

Or maybe it was never there

But I've grown old at last

You picture never speaks

It never gets much clearer

When magnified it never brings you nearer

Through all those empty years

Watermarked with tears

It's held up very well

While my life has gone to hell

But what's really strange

Is how little I have changed

I've grown old missing you

Grown old stuck in the past

The future must have stopped somewhere

Or maybe it was never there

But I've grown old at last
