my old friends lie beside each other 
and its so quiet on the veil tonight 
their eyes are closed and it looks just like theyre dreaming 
but we cant pretend that everything is alright 

from here it really is startling 
just how much weve lost 
were nearly through this game darling 
but at what cost 

oh now my friends will never grow up 
they wont ever grow up 
they were still so little 
oh now my friends will never grow up 
they wont ever grow up 
used to be so simple 

was it their own friends that hurt them 
did they die of broken hearts 
of one thing i am certain 
now my friends wont ever grow up 
wont ever grow up 

i know theyre somewhere out there in the bubbles 
but i cant pretend that theyre in neverland 
cause in your dreams theres still pain and theres still trouble 
believe me i understand 

i hope that they find peace where they are 
i hope they end up okay 
and id give everything just to 
have them beside me for one more day 

oh now my friends will never grow up 
they wont ever grow up 
they were still so little 
oh now my friends will never grow up 
they wont ever grow up 
used to be so simple 

their mistakes came back and burned them 
left the rest of us so scarred 
cant describe how much i miss them 
cant believe that they wont ever grow up 

i took pictures in my mind of tavros smile 
memorized what it sounded like when feferi laughed 
i remember the chat logs i remember the small talk 
and all of equius favorite songs 

i just realized that all my friends 
and all those things are gone 

came back to life and found them fallen 
there was so much i wanted to say 
i tell vriska that i forgive her and 
pray that theyll all be okay 

i miss my friends so much 
i miss my friends so much 

oh now my friends will never grow up 
they wont ever grow up 
they were still so little 
oh now my friends will never grow up 
they wont ever grow up 
used to be so simple 

oh now my friends will never grow up 
they wont ever grow up 
they were still so little 
oh now my friends will never grow up 
they wont ever grow up 
used to be so simple 

their mistakes came back and burned them 
left the rest of us so scarred 

now my friends wont ever grow up
