In my younger days
|
This wouldn't have been so hard
|
I would've just shrugged it off
|
But now it's tough
|
I'm not so rough
|
I've got a little ways to go
|
It's not over yet, I know
|
But it feels
|
Not so far away
|
|
In my younger days
|
This still would've knocked me down
|
But I would've just bounced right back, you know
|
Now I'm a statistic
|
But I'm not fatalistic
|
I'm not yet resigned to fate
|
And I'm not gonna be ruled by hate
|
But it's strong
|
And it's filling up my days
|
|
In my younger days
|
I would've just chalked it up
|
As part of my ongoing education
|
But I've had enough
|
Been through some stuff
|
And I don't need any more misery
|
To teach me what I should be
|
I just need you back
|
