So far away from knowing where I'm going,
I am trying hard to find out who I am,
They all see that I don't know what I'm doing,
I say they don't hardly understand
Why can't they remember
What I will never forget,
How these dreams can come undone
When you're young
You give what you give
Cause they make you
Trapped inside a place
That won't take you,
And they want you to be what they make you,
It's already over and done when you're young
Everything seems perfect,
Everything's okay
And it will all get better now,
At least that's what they say,
But I don't see it coming
You give what you give
Cause they make you
Trapped inside a place
That won't take you,
And they want you to be what they make you,
It's already over and done when you're young
Days really just seem longer,
They say it's better this way,
I hope one day
I am stronger than I feel
And I hope it feels
Different than today
You give what you give
Cause they make you
Trapped inside a place
That won't take you,
And they want you to be what they make you,
It's already over and done
It's already over and done
It's already over and done when you're young
Why can't they remember
What I will never forget,
How these dreams can come undone
When you're young
