I’m like so what I’m leaving,
Not like I haven’t moved before,
I’ve left a few times,
Why should this one hurt anymore?
I guess it’s different now,
Haven’t known these ones since the age of ten,
And you would think it wouldn’t hurt more,
Just four years and some less, and now we’ve reached the end,
But it feels much longer now that it’s done,
But I know the next part has just begun.

And I knew that things would change,
But I had no idea that they would feel this strange
Because I’m walking through these clubs and I don’t recognize a single face,
Tryna move on, but I’m movin at snail’s pace,
When I look back how the years just flew by,
Tryna’ ask myself all the reasons why,
I couldn’t wait to be done with it
‘Cause I really hated that schoolin’ shit,
The people, the lifestyle,
The things that made me smile,
They’re gone now.

And for the life of me, I can’t stop thinkin’ ‘bout,
The way things used to be, no I can’t figure it out,
Is my life’s better now, well it’s hard for me to say,
What would have happened if, I never moved away?

‘Cause man I got this post secondary depression like all the time, and man I’m guessin’,
That I’mma lose my mind, if I try to find, something to replace those times,
You know I can’t, but I’ll never forget them (no),
The memories fade but it’s in my heart that I still know
Those people I adore, wish there’s time for more,
Thinkin’ ‘bout the times, passed out on the floor,
I’mma try to find, shit to pass the time, where the hell’s my piece of mind?
I think I lost it somewhere in the blur,
I’m all alone and now I’m thinkin’ back to her.
What would’ve happened with that girl, would I still be with those friends,
Would I have done things different if I didn’t know it had to end?
I think I probably would’ve but it doesn’t really matter,
This livin’ in the past shit’s gotta end it makes me sadder.
Gotta look to the future because it’s so bright,
Gotta do what I can to live the best life,
Gotta try not to frown because it’s over,
Gotta smile ‘cause I rode that roller coaster (and).
That journey’s over and the safety bar is raised off,
So go and get that picture that they took when you were way up,
So high, higher than you’ve ever been,
Look around, you’re surrounded by so many friends.
But don’t be sad, it’s just the end of one chapter,
One of so many in your happy ever after,
‘Cause every single person’s gotta start their journey somewhere,
If you never left you’d never figure out what’s out there
And I know it seems so lame,
But things will never be the same,
Yeah things are gonna feel strange,
‘Cause everybody has to change.

And for the life of me, I can’t stop thinkin’ ‘bout,
The way things used to be, no I can’t figure it out,
Is my life’s better now, well it’s hard for me to say,
What would have happened if…

And for the life of me,
The way things used to be,
I know it’s better now,
What would have happened if, nothing ever changed?
Yeah if I never moved away,
It could never be the same,
‘Cause everybody has to, yeah everybody has to change.
