When You Were Young

Your rating:
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
