Young

They told us 16 is the perfect age It's the best stage Oh if only they could recapture their youth They say we're doing it wrong I wonder what we did We grew up like you said we should But it's happening much too fast If you want to be young again here take my place There's more inside than just a pretty face Do you see what I see from where I stand There's a man with a knife in his hand To kill a girl not much older than me There's a boy, only 16 who lost his life on his birthday And would you like to see the last smile that 17 year old smiled The next day his life was gone' She's unsure She doesn't feel so pure She cuts her arm just to feel any kind of anything A mass shooting at school It seems like anyone who'll stand up will be shot down His head's bashed in Just a week to live It hurts more than you thought But he's still alive and so am I We'll get through it alright License in hand I'm ready for the quicksand It's not fair and it's definitely not right 16, I shouldn't see the world this way But this is my life This is my right Is this what you told me is fun
