Youth

East is the way I shouldn't go I've been holdin' on to us again I know, I know it's my own mind Plead with the things I can't control So leave the door open it's worth the toll I need you like a child It's somewhere in my bones I hate you for a while Then forgive you that's why I know It's like home It doesn't really matter how far you go I gave you my youth But you kept the kid He's still in your arms When I picture him Now I wonder if He'll ever live A life for himself A life you're not in I can't remember all the things I'm supposed to feel (It's getting old now) Swear this life it used to hold a little hope (Then it burned out) Maybe I, maybe I could take it back But I need you for that So don't deny it You hold me still Like there's no guilt My eyes they wilt Looking for a sign A part of me you keep is still mine I gave you my youth But you kept the kid He's still in your arms When I picture him Now I wonder if He'll ever live A life for himself A life you're not in I gave you my youth He's still in your arms Now I wonder if I'll ever live A life for myself A life you're not in
