What Youth Is Lyrics

The first time I wrote

A message to you

The stress and the hope

As everything's new

The first time you read it

The world shaking below me

The three words you spoke

I think that's what youth is

The first time we met

Your timid cute face

I couldn't do anything

But look at you gleam

Our games in the dark

As we looked at the night

Your smile through the room

No I didn't need more light

The first time we kissed

The first time we touched

The first time I wished

That I never had a heart

The threads that you shattered

Without even knowing

The scars that you slashed

That will never heal

The first time you hid

Your wrist from my eyes

To not see you bleed

Please don't see me cry

The first time we shattered

It didn't even feel new, it's

The last time we felt

That we felt what youth is
