We've reached the point in our lives
Where we think we know better
than anyone else about us
We've reached the point in our lives
Where we think we can fight it
all by ourselves and still not get hurt
But in truth we are the biggest threat to ourselves
'Cause our recklessness gets the better of us
And we're walking contradictions
that will turn the tide against ourselves

'Cause we are the young
We are the young
And we know that we can fall apart
At any given time
We are the young

And when we fall
We stay down for a while
But then we pick up our pieces
and put ourselves back together
And our friends may help us
But we feel that they're never there
We make the same mistakes at least fifteen times
And then we say
we don't understand why we're lost in our misery

'Cause we are the young
We are the young
And we know that we can fall apart
At any given time
We are the young

We are the young
We are the young
And we know that we can fall apart
At any given time
We are the young
