My Youth

They say I should not trust your smile
They say that there's no truth in your eyes
Say why would someone young like you
Throw away like that their precious time

But they don't know what you give me
They don't get what I really need
They don't see all the ways you care
They can't imagine what we only share

You're the one I can call
When I'm feeling lonely
You are there when I fall
And I'm drowning slowly

You give me a reason to live
To laugh, to sing
And in return I give
All my youth

My youth, my youth
I offer it to you
My youth, my youth
My innocence and truth

No one ever even try
To hold me close with such gentle might
No one took the time to know
The parts of me that I was too afraid to show

You're the one I can call
When I'm feeling lonely
You are there when I fall
And I'm drowning slowly

You give me a reason to live
To laugh, to sing
And in return I give
All my youth

My youth, my youth
I offer it to you
My youth, my youth
My innocence and truth

There's so many things
That I have yet to learn
How to be loved
And how to love in return
But as I make mistakes
I hope that you'll still believe
That I want nobody else
Beside me

You give me a reason to live
To laugh, to sing
And in return I give
All my youth

My youth, my youth
I offer it to you
My youth, my youth
My innocence and truth

My youth, my youth
I offer it to you
My youth, my youth
My innocence and truth

And I hope that feels like bliss
And I hope that gives you peace
And I hope that makes you happiest

My youth, my youth
It's all just for you
My youth, my youth
Is innocence and truth
