Gone Are the Days

[Verse 1]
You were my closest friend
My strength in days gone mad
But I spent my time in shallow sheets
I should've seen your hand
I didn't see the signs
Was blinded by the lights
And lost where I belong

[Pre-Chorus]
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?

[Chorus]
Gone are the days of young
Better run for cover
There's no one here to save you from yoursеlf
And you'll discover it's hard
You don't know how to carry on
Gone are thе 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

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
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
