Lyrics

I've been depressed since you left
Tried to fill the hole with wine
Stopped the drugs when she came
Cleaned my act up overnight
If you reach with no reply
I'll see you when I see you, man
You can't talk me through the fall
If we don't know if I can land
Tried to grow, but the past
It tears me down to size
Tell the world how to process
But don't take the same advice
Half remember what I say
Then the morning's filled with fear
Can't get a handle on my grief
When every memory turns to tears
It's been a long year and we're not even halfway there
Is this the ending of our youth, when pain starts taking over?
I just don't know if I can ever just let it go
Everything's falling apart
When love is real, there's never closure
I guess it's all part of life
But I can't help but feel low
We spend our youth with arms and hearts wide open
And then the dark gets in and that's the end of youth
I've been lost since the teens but pretend it's all alright
All my ups led to falls that led to trying to end my life
Just a boy at the start, they lent on like a man
You were meant to be my friend and not to take all that you can
Disengaged to create, try to re-invent the wheel
No one knows what they want, so I just give you what I feel
If I slip and get high, I know the low is always near
When I'm down I never see you, when I'm up you all appear
It's been a long year and we're not even halfway there
Is this the ending of our youth, when pain starts taking over?
I just don't know if I can ever just let it go
Everything's falling apart
When love is real, there's never closure
I guess it's all part of life
But I can't help but feel low
We spend our youth with arms and hearts wide open
And then the dark gets in and that's the end of youth
It's been a long year and we're not even halfway there
Is this the ending of our youth, when pain starts taking over?
I just don't know if I can ever just let it go
Everything's falling apart
When love is real, there's never closure
I guess it's all part of life
But I can't help but feel low
We spend our youth with arms and hearts wide open
And then the dark gets in and that's the end of youth
We spend our youth with arms and hearts wide open
And then the dark gets in and that's the end of youth
