No one ever tells you when you're young
How to shake the hand of a man with a loaded gun
Once upon a time you thought you knew the world
And the world would know you too
But no one tells you when you're young
No one shows you how to get what you need
Staring down the barrel of the gun that shot the breeze
It's harder than easy to know what they mean
And when you know just what they mean
You'll find you've all you need
You realise
This is where you are and there is where you wanna be
Now you find your place
Living in the dark
Will tear yourself apart
You don't know how lucky you are
Baby, you're a star
Shine down on all we are
We all learn the hard way some just sooner
To get what you want you start a loser
No one ever tells you this when you're young, and dumb
And dont know better
No one shows you how to jump the gun
You realise
This is where you are and there is where you wanna be
Now you find your place
Living in the dark
Will tear yourself apart
You don't know how lucky you are
Baby, you're a star
Shine down on all we are
Living in the dark
Will tear yourself apart
You don't know how lucky you are
You don't know how lucky you are
You don't know how lucky you are
