lyrics

What can be seen in the boy who never grew up?
A star that never shines, somehow they flock to him.
(A picture we perceive)
The picture we perceive
The fake that you receive
Missing what you should breathe

It’s hard enough to watch her fall like him
It’s even harder to watch friends go
He used to play our tune and
He used to sing our song
I hate to see him go
But I will never live up to
Mr. Perfect.

Remember past years, and remember past days
Like when we walked to the parade
It was just us guys, even I would say we were fly
No one could make fun of this.

A friend I never lost
Sure enough he dropped.
True friends never stoped
Just us guys movin’ up.

But memories don’t heal like broken bones.
(And I know they’ll never…)

Take it or leave it
It’s all about how you perceive it
Drama kings and Drama queens
Will get you through like human beings
Save yourself or save me now
It only matters who is still here.
(It only matter who is still here)

Who is still here?
