11 Years Old

Brave if you go for broke

Dead if the boat don't float

Broke if you slip too far

Lost if you think you are

Deaf if the bell don't ring

Blind if the money brings you wealth

Old if you get me now

Too young if you don't know how

11 years old and I knew

What people thought

I became the reflection

And in that self

I saw

What grown ups see

When they lie to themselves

For protection

Don't ever give up

Don't ever give in

Please,

Just say that to me

Don't belive it at all

It's not worth enough to contend

Just to love that way

Baby, don't want this again

There was cold in your eyes

It peirced my heart

It broke the connection

And in your heart was a stone

It was my stone too

I carried it till I was broken

Don't ever give up

Don't ever give in

Please,

Just say that to me

There's a dream

A clear way

We're guided from here till the end

If you're brave in the world

There's nothing you can't do again
