They're watching you battle
Listen as you cry
Witness fruitless wanders
Too kind to ask why
You know they don't get it
How you have to try
Discussing strategies
They don't understand
There's no simple ladder
No set thing to plan
They don't see the long game
Or feel empty hands
I'm too young to be old
And too old to be young
With so many things behind me
Strange I've still just begun
When you see all the struggle
You don't have to believe
It'll be enough for you to listen
And just tell me
Darling, that's fine
It's your path not mine
And you're not alone
I know it's hard
Honey, you're not alone
Let down your guard
Brick by brick you're laying
The path that you take
Sacrifice deciding
Concessions you make
Don't give in to the fold now
Please don't be afraid
I'm too young to be old
And too old to be young
With so many things behind me
Strange I've still just begun
When you see all the struggle
You don't have to believe
It'll be enough for you to listen
And just tell me
Darling, that's fine
It's your path not mine
And you're not alone
I know it's hard
Honey, you're not alone
Let down your guard
No, you're not alone
I know it's hard
Honey, you're not alone
You're not alone
I'm too young to be old and too old to be young
You're not alone
I'm too young to be old and too old to be young
You're not alone
