Half My Youth

(Oh my) I'm starting to think this is what giving up feels like (feels like) I lost all my love for this earlier this year And I've been feeling empty 'cause no one really cares I put my heart into this and shed too many tears Now I feel dead inside 'Cause my life's turned into working for pennies for my art And I've never had a love like this, fold and break apart A passion turned to purpose, a purpose turned to pain Do I give it all up? Do I throw it all away? I wasted half my youth counting on the dream to come true That keeps on running, a pit left in my stomach From losing all this time and the love I left behind It's a shame, the life I'm living, everything I've given up (Oh my) I'm starting to think this is what giving up feels like (feels like) She said, "I lost all my love for us 'cause you were too damn much" It's a three-person relationship and you don't give a (fuck) But it's not that I don't care or crave that kinda love But I've been burned by what I want and I've never felt more stuck 'Cause my life's turned into working for pennies for my art And I've never had a love like this, fold and break apart A passion turned to purpose, a purpose turned to pain Do I give it all up? Do I throw it all away? I wasted half my youth counting on the dream to come true That keeps on running, a pit left in my stomach From losing all this time and the love I left behind It's a shame, the life I'm living, everything I've given up (Oh-oh) How my dreams turned to misery (Oh-oh) And steal the innocence away from me (Oh-oh) Feels like I'm giving up my destiny (Oh-oh) Now that what I love's become the enemy I wasted half my youth counting on the dream to come true That keeps on running, a pit left in my stomach From losing all this time and the love I left behind It's a shame, the life I'm living, everything I've given up
