When I Was Young

Loneliness lives in my house

There it rests under the covers

Brokenness fills up my home

And drives it's wedge right through my family

There she weeps

When I was young every day was so pretty

I could sing, I could laugh at the things that made me cry

Now that I'm old, and my life's not so pretty

I look back and I look down, on my heart a shadow lies

Now we've come to this

And I must always take your part

Now we've come to this

And I must always take your part

When I was young I thought life was so pretty

I could sing, I could laugh at the things that made me cry

Now I'm too old, full of hate and self-pity

I look back and I look down, on my heart a shadow lies

Now we've come to this

And I must always take your part

Now we've come to this

And I must always take your part

When I was young I used to think I'd be somebody

I used to laugh

I used to sing

I used to hope

Now I'm too old and life's slipped through my fingers

I don't laugh anymore

And I don't sing

All I do is cry

When I was young every day was so pretty

I could sing, I could laugh at the things that made me cry

Now that I'm old, and my life's not so pretty

I look back and I look down, on my heart a shadow lies

Now we've come to this

And I must always take your part

Now we've come to this

And I must always take your part

Now we've come to this

And I must always take your part

Now we've come to this

And I must always take your part
