Verse 1 Those thirty years no run or play, Thought happiness would never stay. But now you stand before me now, Yet not as friends but traitors, how? You took my joy, you took my soul, You broke my heart, now just a hole. And now you say it was just a prank, My hopes and dreams are in the tank. Pre-Chorus You call my name like nothing changed, Like all those years can be erased. But every season carved a scar, And now we're worlds apart. Chorus Thirty years beside those graves, Thirty years I couldn't save. Thirty years of rain and pain, And I'll never be the same. You want the frog I used to be, The one who laughed beside the stream. But that little frog is long gone now, And I don't know if he'll be found. Verse 2 I still remember hide and seek, Playing games for hours each week. Frank would count beside the tree, While everyone would hide from me. Then we'd race along the stream, Fast as any frog could dream. The sun would shine, the sky was blue, Back when I still trusted you. Bridge You stepped out from the reeds one day, Said it was all a game you played. You smiled and asked me, "Want to race?" Like time had never left a trace. But you weren't there through every tear, Every lonely, endless year. You lost a prank, I lost my life, That's the difference you deny. Final Chorus Thirty years beside those graves, Thirty years of all I gave. Thirty years of missing you, Believing every word was true. You stand before me once again, Calling yourselves my oldest friends. But some things break and can't be mended, Some stories don't get happy endings. Outro The stream still flows, the fireflies glow, Just like they did so long ago. But though you're here for all to see, The happy little froggy isn't me.
