Youth Is Wasted On The Young

Saw my reflection in the mirror, didn't recognize myself I felt more distant and more useless than the dust upon the shelf I tried to fix it but I only ended up hurting someone else Oh lover can you hear me, I'm so scared and I need a little help I've built so many bridges, then I sat and watched them burn I had so many chances, never took the time to learn If I could change the past, go back erase what I had done I'd redo everything, youth is wasted on the young Yeah, you gotta crawl before you walk Sometimes you gotta scream before you talk You can't take back everything you've done Youth is wasted on the young Youth is wasted on the young Even the thought of me without you sends a shiver down my spine I'd spend a lifetime on my knees for just the chance to keep you mine And like a rocket I shot up and then I crashed and burned I put the pieces back together as the seasons turned If I could change the past, go back erase what I had done Redo most everything, youth is wasted on the young Yeah, you gotta crawl before you walk Sometimes you gotta scream before you talk You can't take back everything you've done Youth is wasted on the young Youth is wasted on the young Wasted on the young Youth is wasted on the young Wasted on the young Yeah, you gotta crawl before you walk Sometimes you gotta scream before you talk You can't take back everything you've done Youth is wasted on the young Youth is wasted on the young
