Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Here I am stuck on this couch
Scrolling through my notes
Heart was broken, still not growin', no
[Verse 2]
Wakin' up to headlines
Filled with devastation again
My heart is broken, but I keep goin'
[Verse 3]
Pain, but I won't let it turn into hate
No, I won't let it change me
Never losin' sight of the one I keep inside
Now I know it, yeah, I know it
[Verse 4]
You can't take my youth away
This soul of mine will never break
As long as I wake up today
You can't take my youth away
[Verse 5]
You can't take my youth away
This soul of mine will never break
As long as I wake up today
You can't take my youth away
You can't take my youth away
[Verse 6]
It's hard to sleep at night
Knowin' what's outside
Feeling hopeless, I need focus
[Verse 7]
You hit me with words
I never heard come out your mouth
To be honest, I don't want it, no
[Verse 8]
Pain, but I won't let it turn into hate
No, I won't let it change me
[Verse 9]
You can't take my youth away
This soul of mine will never break
As long as I wake up today
You can't take my youth away
[Verse 10]
You can't take my youth away
This soul of mine will never break
As long as I wake up today
You can't take my youth away
You can't take my youth away
[Verse 11]
You can't take my youth away
[Verse 12]
Pain, but I won't let it turn into hate
No, I won't let it change me
Pain, but I won't let it turn into hate
No, I won't let it change me
[Verse 13]
You can't take my youth away
This soul of mine will never break
As long as I wake up today
You can't take my youth away
[Verse 14]
You can't take my youth away
This soul of mine will never break
As long as I wake up today
You can't take my youth away
[Verse 15]
You can't take my youth away
This soul of mine will never break
As long as I wake up today
You can't take my youth away
[Verse 16]
You can't take my youth away
This soul of mine will never break
As long as I wake up today
You can't take my youth away
You can't take my youth away
