Amitri Del - When You Were Young lyrics

rate me

Look at the fool you have been

They drained the pool while you drowned in the dream

They bought your beauty and your soul

Then softly sold you back what they stole

So look into the mirror do you recognise someone

Is it who you always hope you would become

When you were young

The disappointment of success

Hangs from your shoulders like a hand-me down dress

And down nostalgia's rocky road

You watch your former lovers growing old

So look into the mirror do you recognise someone

Is it who you always hope you would become

When you were young

Sometimes your lack of sympathy gets hard to explain

So on your mask of make up just paint

A little parody of pain

So I look into the mirror and I recognise someone

It is who you always hoped you would become

When you were young
