lyrics

"I Wasn't Meant To Be Young"
by Orville Neeley

I’ve been spent since childhood
Wasting away til I could be old
I still don't get why time
Can’t keep up with my desires
Now it won’t slow down
Patience’ll rarely cross my mind

I was not meant to be young
I was not meant to be young
I was not meant to be young
I was not meant to be young

I’ve let go but it’s still a drag
And I've forgotten what I had
My dreams used to be so nice
Ones in which no rules applied
When I was twenty-one
I didn’t know just how dumb I was

I was not meant to be young
I was not meant to be young
I was not meant to be young
I was not meant to be young
