You were my closest friend My strength in days gone mad But I spent my time in shallow sheets I should have seen your hand I didn't see the signs Was blinded by the lights And lost where I belong I thought that we'd grow old Give kids our bad advice Now I'm alone You went and left me with these sleepless nights You took my warmth and soul Left me with doubt and cold Is this where I belong? Gone are the days of young, better run for cover There's no one here to save you from yourself and you'll discover it's hard You don't know how to carry on Gone are the days of young, better run for cover When everything you love is lying six feet under, I know You don't know how but you carry on These days are longer now My nights spent wondering why And I get mad inside Did you fight back or even try? You didn't see the signs Were blinded by the lights You lost where you came from We're not so different, no We grew up wanting more But I found it easy 'Cause I left my morals at the door You took an honest heart And watched it fall apart You lost before you started Gone are the days of young, better run for cover There's no one here to save you from yourself And you'll discover it's hard You don't know how to carry on Gone are the days of young, better run for cover When everything you love is lying six feet under, I know You don't know how but you carry on Gone are the days of young, better run for cover There's no one here to save you from yourself And you'll discover it's hard You don't know how to carry on
