There was a time when I, never thought that I could be this close with anyone
I rather listen to the harshest words
I was be abused at ten in the hot pacific sun
There was a time I came to your side
It was 3am and you were begging me to die
Another year was all it took for you to forget the best friend who carried you

So why are you still saying I'm not when I already am
(You keep on kicking me down, you keep on kicking me down)
And why are you still saying we wont when we already are
(You keep on kicking me down, you keep on kicking me down))
Ain't it a shame to be so young and insane
Ain't it a shame to be so young and insane

I used to love what I used to love
But it all was a chore I wasn't quite ready for
They used to say I was a cautious man,
It's been weeks since I looked both ways or gave a damn

There was a time I came to your side
It was 3am and you were begging me to die
Another year was all it took for you to forget the best friend that always carried you

So why are you still saying I'm not when I already am
( you keep on kicking me down, you keep on kicking me down)
And why are you still saying we wont when we already are
(You keep on kicking me down, you keep on kicking me down))
Ain't it a shame to be so young and insane
Ain't it a shame to be so young and insane
Ain't it a shame to be so young and insane
Ain't it a shame to be so young and insane

Was there something I said?
Cause there sure as hell will be now
Was there something I said
To make you doubt that I could get back up
Cause I can get back up
Yeah, I can get back up
Yeah, I can get back up

Ain't it a shame to be so young and insane
Ain't it a shame to be so young and insane

So why are you still saying I'm not when I already am
Ain't it a shame to be so young and insane
