Lyrics

Youth

[Verse 1: Shawn Mendes & Khalid] Here I am, stuck on this couch scrolling through my notes Heart was broken, still not growin', nah Wakin' up to headlines, filled with devastation again My heart is broken, but I keep goin' [Pre-Chorus: Shawn Mendes with Khalid] Pain, but I won't let it turn into hate No, I won't let it change me Never losing sight of the one I keep inside Now, I know it, yeah, I know it [Chorus: Shawn Mendes & Khalid] You can't take my youth away This soul of mine will never break As long as I wake up today You can't take my youth away You can't take my youth away This soul of mine will never break As long as I wake up today You can't take my youth away [Post-Chorus: Shawn Mendes & Khalid] You can't take my youth away [Verse 2: Shawn Mendes & Khalid] It's hard to sleep at night, knowin' what's outside Feelin' hopeless, I need focus You hit me with words I never heard come out your mouth To be honest, I don't want it, no [Pre-Chorus: Shawn Mendes, & Khalid] Pain, but I won't let it turn into hate No, I won't let it change me [Chorus: Shawn Mendes & Khalid] You can't take my youth away This soul of mine will never break As long as I wake up today You can't take my youth away You can't take my youth away This soul of mine will never break As long as I wake up today You can't take my youth away [Post-Chorus: Shawn Mendes & Khalid, Shawn Mendes] You can't take my youth away (Can't take my youth) You can't take my youth away Oh, yeah [Bridge: Khalid with Shawn Mendes] Pain, but I won't let it turn into hate No, I won't let it change me Pain, but I won't let it turn into hate No, I won't let it change me [Chorus: Shawn Mendes & Khalid] You can't take my youth away This soul of mine will never break As long as I wake up today You can't take my youth away (My youth away) You can't take my youth away This soul of mine will never break As long as I wake up today You can't take my youth away (Oh, yeah) You can't take my youth away This soul of mine will never break As long as I wake up today You can't take my youth away You can't take my youth away This soul of mine will never break As long as I wake up today You can't take my youth away [Outro] You can't take my youth away
