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
