Younger Than Now

In between the smiles we fake,

the bitter truths, the sweet embrace,

in between all lies

and all deceit.

Through the waves, through ups and downs,

through blue skies, through darkened nights,

through the pain and love

and all there is.

We were naive and we were blind,

running through that maze.

Like a fading distant dream,

forgotten memory

And I was so much younger then,

so much younger than now.

I was so much younger then,

so much younger than now.

Painted frames in black and white,

fleeting glimpses, stolen smiles,

of a broken world

beyond repair

Promises that are hard to keep,

words of reason, quick retreats,

hanging from your walls

in quiet despair.

We were naive and we were blind,

running through that maze.

There was madness in the air

and colours everywhere

And I was so much younger then

so much younger than now.

And I was so much younger then,

so much younger than now.
