Wasted Youth

[Verse 1] Wasted my youth on trying to grow up Wasted my future, it never showed up I'm walking around, I'm hanging my head Serving up sounds in a language instead Wasted my time on trying to get by I sold it all away to the company lie Now I'm feeling like a fool, all the freedom I lost All of my youth was all that it cost [Chorus] Now I'm getting by on less and less I just needed some time to adjust myself, I guess You know the words keep coming, I'm keeping up my best It's the only thing I can do, I must confess, I must confess [Verse 2] I wasted my love on a silly thing All I ever wanted was a song to sing Some kind of door to get out of my head All over the floor and under my bed Figure I'll write until the day that I'm dead I'm hoping they might keep listening in 'Cause all that I can do is shoot my shot Find myself and keep my spot [Chorus] Now I'm getting by on less and less I just needed some time to adjust myself, I guess You know the words keep coming, I'm keeping up my best It's the only thing I can do, I must confess, I must confess [Outro] I wasted my time on trying to get by I sold it all away to the company lie Now I'm feeling like a fool, all the freedom I lost All of my youth was all that it cost
