Eighth Grade Lyrics by Preston Max Allen

0

I remember being little kids
Running just a little too fast in the rain
You fell and you sprained your ankle
You didn't know what to do
So I just sat with you
'Til someone heard a shout
And then the eighth grade dance
I somehow got appendicitis
You stayed at the hospital
Until they kicked you out
I wonder where we went
Those girls who stuck together
How did we let time tear us apart?
Who are we now? How'd we get here?
Arе we too far gone? Do I want to know?
Do I let you go?
Or do I hold on?
Friеndships die all the time
Why does mine have to hurt?
Why does everything have to hurt somehow?
God, I have a headache 'cause I'm caring
I hate caring and I haven't cared for years
So why should I care now?
'Cause I try not to feel
And I'm thinking of rain, and of eighth grade
And hospitals, and times we were sure
But I thought I forgot, but I guess I did not
'Cause I'm looking at you, and I see what we were
Why'd it have to end?
Why does high school just destroy us?
How do two best friends not know who they are?
I know that I sometimes seem blind
To the past we knew
But now I'm afraid, sorry's far too late
And I'm losing you
Everyone sees someone horrible in me
But you saw differently
And you stayed by my side
So now, if I can do one thing for you
It's what I've got to do
For all those times you tried
But I stopped being worth defending
And your whole life became this game
I guess we're strangers now
But maybe yet somehow
We're still those girls in the rain
I thought I'd be fine with no one around me
Just me on my side, safer alone
Why is this here?
This creeping fear, why's it all I see?
And what do I do if I need you?
But you don't need me
