All Grown Up

 

Do you ever wonder

Where they ended up?

Do you ever stop to think

What are they doing now?

 

I don’t mean your friends

You already know about them

But the ones you never spoke to

Why should you care about them?

 

That boy who wanted to be a doctor

Is now unemployed and skint

His best friend, with the stutter

Teaches english to kids in India

 

The girl who dreamt of being a star

Ruined everything with one mistake

Twice married, twice divorced

Father of her kids long gone

 

The boy from the south

Whose accent wasn’t right

Gone back to the south where he belongs

Owns his own business now

 

The girl who wrote all the time

She was ugly, fat and shy

Do you ever think of her

The one who died so young
