Youth

Is this the way I shouldn't go?

I've been holding onto us again

I know, I know it's my own mind

Plead with the things I can't control

So leave the door open, it's worth the toll

I need you like a child

You're somewhere in my bones

I'll hate you for a while

Then forgive you, it's what I know

It's like home

It doesn't really matter how far you go

I gave you my youth

But you kept the kid

He's still in your arms

When I picture him

Now I wonder if

He'll ever live

A life for himself

A life you're not in

I know, I know, I know

I know, I know, I know

I can't remember all the things I'm supposed to feel

(It's getting old now)

I swear this life, it used to hold a little hope

(But then it burned out)

And maybe I

Maybe I could take it back

But I need you for that

So don't deny it

You hold me still

Blind hands, no guilt

My eyes, they will

Looking for a sign

The part of me you keep is still mine

I gave you my youth

But you kept the kid

He's still in your arms

When I picture him

Now I wonder if

He'll ever live

A life for himself

A life you're not in

I know, I know, I know

I know, I know, I know

I know, I know, I know

I know, I know, I know

I gave you my youth

He's still in your arms

Now I wonder if

I'll ever live

A life for myself

A life you're not in
