[Verse 1: Khalid & Jessie Reyez]
Here I am, stuck on this couch scrolling through my notes
Heart was broken, still not growing, nah
Why is it always televised? They want me desensitized
I won't do it, I won't do it, mhm
[Pre-Chorus: Shawn Mendes, Khalid & Jessie Reyez]
Pain, but I won't let it turn into hate
No, I won't let it change me
Never losing sight of the one I keep inside
Now, I know it, yeah, I know it
[Chorus: Shawn Mendes, Khalid & Jessie Reyez]
You can't take my youth away
This soul of mine will never break
As long as I wake up today
You can't take my youth away
You can't take my youth away
This soul of mine will never break
As long as I wake up today
You can't take my youth away
[Post-Chorus: Shawn Mendes & Khalid]
You can't take my youth away
[Verse 2: Shawn Mendes, Jessie Reyez & Khalid]
It's hard to sleep at night, knowing what's outside
Feeling hopeless, I need focus
You have died inside, and your soul's not worth the price
Don't you lose it for this foolishness, no
You hit me with words I never heard come out your mouth
To be honest, I don't want it, no
[Pre-Chorus: Shawn Mendes, Khalid & Jessie Reyez]
Pain, but I won't let it turn into hate
No, I won't let it change me
[Chorus: Shawn Mendes, Khalid & Jessie Reyez]
You can't take my youth away
This soul of mine will never break
As long as I wake up today
You can't take my youth away
You can't take my youth away
This soul of mine will never break
As long as I wake up today
You can't take my youth away
[Post-Chorus: Shawn Mendes & Jessie Reyes & Khalid]
You can't take my youth away (Can't take my youth)
You can't take my youth away
Oh, yeah
[Bridge: Jessie Reyez, Shawn Mendes & Khalid]
How come certain boys in blue
Can be so quick to shoot?
You gotta be the change that you want to see
Pain, but I won't let it turn into hate
You gotta be the heaven you want to see
No, I won't let it change me (Ohh)
[Chorus: Shawn Mendes, Khalid & Jessie Reyez, Shawn Mendes]
You can't take my youth away
This soul of mine will never break
As long as I wake up today
You can't take my youth away (Youth away)
You can't take my youth away
This soul of mine will never break
As long as I wake up today
You can't take my youth away (Oh yeah)
You can't take my youth away
This soul of mine will never break
As long as I wake up today (Oh, oh)
You can't take my youth away
You can't take my youth away
This soul of mine will never break
As long as I wake up today
You can't take my youth away
You can't take my youth away
