You were my closest friend
My strength in days gone mad
But I spent my time in 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'd grow old
Give kids our 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
And you'll 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 heart
And watched it 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
And you'll 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
And you'll discover it's hard
You don't know how but you carry on
