Young Years

You said ‘take my hand you can trust me’

I was so young and foolish

You said to believe or you’d leave me

I was so dumb and clueless

I was trapped inside an imaginary cage

Taunted and teased and forced to please

I was torn apart by your damaged heart

A shadow of who I knew I could be

And I gave you my young years

The best years of my life

You’ve stolen my young years

Cut through me like a knife

I lost them my young years

In the hope of eternal life

I gave you my young years

As your wife

They said ‘you seem different now,

You’ve changed’

I didn’t know just quite how much

‘You’re so uptight,

Is like your chained away, estranged

We’re here so get in touch’

But I was trapped inside an imaginary cage

Taunted and teased and ^forced to please

I was torn apart by your damaged heart

A shadow of who I knew I could be

And I gave you my young years

The best years of my life

You’ve stolen my young years

Cut through me like a knife

I lost them my young years

In the hope of eternal life

I gave you my young years

As your wife

All the heartache the pain,

All the hurt, your insane

Expect me to give up my life

All those nights we would fight

So uptight

I was right

Should’ve known all along that you lied

And I gave you my young years

The best years of my life

You’ve stolen my young years

Cut through me like a knife

I lost them my young years

In the hope of eternal life

I wasted my young years

As your wife
