My Old Shoes

I tried on my old shoes today

the ones I wore when I was young



I used to dance and spin

the shoes fit just right



but when I put on those old shoes

something was wrong



they didn't fit anymore

they just didn't feel right



you remind me of those shoes

what was once so perfect now feels so strange



in my mind I'm still dancing but when I open my eyes

I'm standing still, and you're nowhere to be found
