And We Wanted to Grow Up

It's hot outside
An inside joke
And frosty by
A cold shoulder
Drama reigns
And kindness chokes
As young hearts
Grow older

As we all crash
On leaden wings
We learn to seek new highs
Love hurts
Betrayal Stings
And we are spoon fed lies

Boys are clueless
And girls are cruel
All struggling for the concept
Of an undefined "cool"

So failure greets the best of us
Not for lack of trying
On the golden clouds we reached for
I fight for a silver lining
