Rowan Drake - Youth

{Verse 1}
East is the way that I shouldn't go
I've been holdin' on to us again
I know, I know it's my own (?...)
Plead with the things I can't control
So leave the door open it's worth (?...)

I need you like a child
You're somewhere in my bones
I hate you for a while
Then forgive you
I swear I know it's like home
It doesn't really matter how far you go

{Chorus}
I gave you my youth
But you kept the kid
He's still in your arms
When I picture him
Now I wonder if
He'll ever live
The life for himself
A life you're not in

{Verse 2}
I can't remembеr all the things I'm supposed to feel
(It's getting old now)
I swеar this life it used to hold a little hold
(Then it burned out)
And maybe I
Maybe I could take it back
But I need you for that
So don't deny it
You hold me still
Like there's no guilt
My eyes they wilt
Looking for a sign
The part of me you keep is still mine

{Chorus}
I gave you my youth
But you kept the kid
He's still in your arms
When I picture him
Now I wonder if
He'll ever live
The life for himself
A life you're not in

{Outro}
I gave you my youth
He's still in your arms
Now I wonder if
I'll ever live
The life for myself
A life you're not in
