When You're Young

So far away from knowin' where I'm goin' And tryin' hard to find out who I am They all say that I don't know what I'm doin' I say they don't hardly understand Why can't they remember what I'll 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 They want you to be what they make you It's already over and done When you're young Everything seems perfect (everything seems perfect) And everything's okay (everything's okay) And it will all get better now (it will all get better now) At least that's what they say But I don't see it comin' You give what you give 'cause they make you Trapped inside a place that won't take you They want you to be what they make you It's already over and done When you're young The days never seem longer They say it's better this way I hope one day I am stronger than I feel And I hope that it feels different than today You give what you give 'cause they make you Trapped inside a place that won't take you 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
