Gone Are The Days

You were my closest friend
My strength when days go mad
But I spent my time and shallow sheets
I should have seen your hand
I didn't see the signs
Was blinded by the lights
And lost where I belong

I thought that we grow old
Give kids all bad advice
Now I'm alone, you went and left me
With these sleepless nights
You took my warmth and soul
Left me with doubt and cold
Is this where I belong

Gone are the days of young
Better run for cover
There's no one here to save you from yourself
When you discover it's hard
You don't know how to carry on

Gone are the days of young
Better run for cover
When everything you love
Is lying six feet under, I know
You don't know how, but you carry on

These days are longer now
My nights spent wondering why
And I get mad inside
Did you fight back or even try
You didn't see the signs
Were blinded by the lights
You lost where you came from

We're not so different, no
We grew up wanting more
But I found it easy
Cause I left my morals at the door
You took an honest turn
I watched you fall apart
You lost before you started

Gone are the days of young
Better run for cover
There's no one here to save you from yourself
When you discover it's hard
You don't know how to carry on

Gone are the days of young
Better run for cover
When everything you love
Is lying six feet under, I know
You don't know how, but you carry on

Gone are the days of young
Better run for cover
There's no one here to save you from yourself
When you'll discover it's hard
You don't know how to carry on
