My Friends Grew Up

Are you aware of how it feels
To be completely alone
In a crowded room
No one else gets the joke
And you can tell you're not wanted
But no one has the heart to say so
So you just sit there and laugh
When they chirp something "funny"
Then wonder why just yesterday
They were your band of hopeless dreamers
And today they're victims of
The adult society we live in
Sometimes you cry just because
It feels like everything is going
Too fast and too slow
And you've tripped over your own two feet
But no one stops to pick you up
And dust you off and send you on your way
So you sit there while they run
And they forget who you are
And everything you've done
This is what it feels like when
All of your friends grow up
But you don't
