lyrics
“Listen girl”, she said I’m gonna miss my youth
“Listen girl” she said I’m gonna miss my youth
What is it you want from me?
Do you wish that I were you?
You think this is complacency?
I just don’t know what I’m supposed to do
She said
“When you get as old as me, you’re gonna wish that you were half your age”
Oh, but with all this anxiety, I’m starting to feel old beyond my days
Why don’t you leave me centre stage?
So, I can find my way?
No, I won’t try to change just to please you
She said
“Make the best of what you’ve got cos it’s all downhill from here love, you know
You’ll see your face is growing old and then one day you’ll just let go, oh no”
She said “listen girl” she said I’m gonna miss my youth
She said “’listen girl” she said I’m gonna miss my youth
She said
“When you get as old as me, you’re gonna wish that you were half your age”
But with all this anxiety, I’m starting to feel old beyond my days
People keep on telling me that these will be the best days of our lives
If life just keeps on getting worse then what’s the point in trying to survive?
With all this worrying I do, I think I’m missing my youth
With all this worrying I do, I think I’m missing my youth
I’m so tired, I can’t sleep
I’ve spent three months in dirty sheets
I’m nothing but a layabout
I’m always down, I’m always out
No one can get through to me
And because in all honesty
It’s hard to face the sunny skies
Are these the best days of my life?
I’m trying but what can I say?
Barely alive before midday
Embodiment of vibrant youth
It’s not for me, maybe for you
And I’ll my dreams, I will destroy
And how am I supposed to enjoy
My life if I keep getting told
I should be scared of growing old?
She said
“When you get as old as me, you’re gonna wish that you were half your age” (miss my youth, I’m gonna)
But with all this anxiety, I’m starting to feel old beyond my days (miss my youth, I’m gonna)
People keep on telling me that these will be the best days of our lives (miss my youth, I’m gonna)
But if life just keeps on getting worth then what’s the point of trying to survive? (miss my youth, I’m gonna)
But I’m just glad to be alive,
Even if for just a while,
And I don’t have to hide,
Just to please you
