Lyrics: Alan Schmuckler/Michael Mahler Music: Alan Schmuckler/Michael Mahler Greg: Dear Diary I said I’d never write But you’re the only one who knows What happened here tonight It started out just like I planned But then it got way out of hand And now I’m locked inside of here For probably forever
And Dear Diary I thought this was my year For once I heard them call my name For once I heard them cheer Now how much further can I fall I’m stuck behind a bathroom wall So tell me, Diary How’d I end up here?
I tried to make a great impression But I only made a mess I wanted everyone to like me Now they like me even less Even Rowley likes me less
Greg: Yes, Diary (Rowley: Joshie says) I failed at every scheme (Joshie says follow your dreams) I’ve only stayed alive at all (But they worked at the seams) With Rowley on my team
Both: The only one who understood Is gone away from before good
Greg: And Dear Diary (Rowley: Joshie, I shared and shared) Dear Diary (Joshie, he never cared) Dear Diary (Joshie, I’m scared)
Both: Hey, Middle School You sold us all a lie We’re way too young to handle things And way too old to cry ’Cuz no one taught us how to deal With all the feelings that we feel And good things must come to an end
Greg: Dear Diary Dear Diary
Both: I miss my friend I miss my friend
