Well, friend, it would seem
Everything we thought was wrong
Now I am alone

Back in our shared past,
I thought nothing could harm us
I thought we were strong
We were on top of the world
(used to be) invincible

Now, just look at us
Sad, sorry, and confused
at where we went wrong
Formerly great ones
And now we have changed so much
Were at the top, but no longer

Formerly so high ,
We have fallen so low
I miss our shared past
The way things were always so good
Why did we have to change?

On my way to bed one night, I literally picked up a piece of paper with this written on it. I don't recall the inspiration anymore.
