They took it away 
My childhood fort 
They broke it into pieces and spun out of the driveway 
They'll reassemble it 
But it won't ever be the same 
Because it's no longer mine 
And the magic is gone 
There is a gaping hole where my childhood once stood 
Where hot summers were spent stargazing 
And where I played with James 
Where I ran when my heart first broke 
They don't even know what it means to me 
How sad 
I smile and say take care 
Like an adult 
Then I watch it go 
Trailing down the road to some unfamiliar home 
I wave goodbye
They wave back
But I was never waving to them.
