I'm From the Midwest. I'm Softspoken.

from Growing Up is Getting Old by Midstress

lyrics

Stop it all
Get carried away
Watch their hopes
Get washed down the drain
Minutes go by
Onlookers don't flinch
The knife cuts so deep
The air is so thick

Can't count on you
To be there for me
These days are changing
But you stay the same
You don't think about
The ones around you
Soon they won’t care about you

So what’s it to you
Your pride it falls like rain
The lives we tried to touch
You say it was all in vain
I want to tell you how
You meant the world to me
But we can’t go on like this
It’s not the way I choose to be

They’d been forever waiting
For the day when they could say that
This was the one thing that they needed less
And I only counted one last hour
But I know she had no power
It was lost, had it taken
Saw you running from the scene
Left your footprints on the ground
But didn’t make a sound

But you’re still here

And I still see you in the past
But I think I’m gonna have to let this go
Because I know deep down inside
I lost it, I lost it, I lost it
