We Were Young

Someday down the winding road when we both are gone
Will you remember the things we shared when we were young
When I grow up all I want is to be strong
I'll stand up for myself and I'll get down on my own
and then one day we'll let it slip away

I don't know if I ever cared before
It feels like nothing's ever felt so fair
When you live so long in someone else's shoes
It makes you wonder who you are
I don't know when I realized
That this world wasn't mine
I was the one who didn't choose
So who did decide this is the end

I have those dreams that we are lost out in the woods
Light can be a scary thing when you see there's no way out
I hope you can find in your heart
To forgive me for my wrongs and help me let go
and then one day I'm gonna fade away

Someday I hope that I can remember the cause
That I've been fighting for, that you've been running from
and as time passes by we will focus on the wrongs
and not on what was shared, not on what was special to you
