I spent too much of my life just growing up
When everything I set out did was never good enough
I spent way too many years try to be someone's idea
Of the kind of me they wanted me to be
A prisoner of my insecurity
I wasted way too much emotion keeping score
The only place I'd ever looked was where I've been before
To find out what it's all about
If you've got a look behind the doubt
Living in the past the future disappears
Fighting through the days I lost years
Em
When I'm waiting for the future to begin
When all that mad is released breathing out and breathing in
I am just a small part of the deal but one cargo in the will
Strong enough to overcome the fear
Using what I learnt in the lost years
Em
So we carry on the journey that we take it all on trust
To all that's left on memories carry in and rust
Though I spear the angers on on after we are gone
As long as there's someone there to shed tears
Someone who remembers I was here
Someone who was dead in the lost years
