Youth Lyrics
[Verse 1]
As a child
I thought the moon was walkin' beside me
I thought class was an invincible walk
And all the trees
So dark as painted with a piece of coat
And the only (?) white knuckle there below
A silhouette
Of the mountains so far above
The Earth and the surface around us
[Chorus]
But it was you
Oh, it was you
Who took the crown so selfishly
Won the gold and broke the key
But it was you
Oh, it was you
You crashed a car into the tree
You pulled the trigger like a wannabe
Oh, it wasn't me
[Verse 2]
It was so cold
But my skin was warmer than the bedroom floor
And my body felt the heat but not the warmth
And one man standin'
In the fight all alone
With no clothes and no shoes in case without a home
[Chorus]
But it was you
Oh, it was you
Who took the crown so selfishly
Won the gold and broke the key
But it was you
Oh, it was you
You crashed a car into the tree
You pulled the trigger like a wannabe
[Outro]
Oh, it wasn't me
