When You Were Young Songtext
von Del Amitri
When You Were Young Songtext
Look at the fool you have been
They drained the pool while you drowned in the dream
They bought your beauty and your soul
Then softly sold you back what they stole
So look into the mirror, do you recognize someone?
Is it who you always hoped you would become
When you were young
When you were young
The disappointment of success
Hangs from your shoulders like a hand-me-down dress
Down nostalgia′s rocky road
You watch your former lovers growing old
So look into the mirror
Do you recognize someone?
Is it who you always hoped you would become
When you were young
When you were young
When you were young
(When you were young) when you were young
Sometimes your lack of sympathy
Gets hard to explain
So on your mask of make-up
You just paint a little parody of pain
So look into the mirror
Do you recognize someone?
It is who you always hoped you would become
When you were young
When you were young
When you were young (when you were young)
When you were young (when you were young)
When you were young (when you were young)
When you were young (when you were young)
When you were young (when you were young)
When you were young (when you were young)
They drained the pool while you drowned in the dream
They bought your beauty and your soul
Then softly sold you back what they stole
So look into the mirror, do you recognize someone?
Is it who you always hoped you would become
When you were young
When you were young
The disappointment of success
Hangs from your shoulders like a hand-me-down dress
Down nostalgia′s rocky road
You watch your former lovers growing old
So look into the mirror
Do you recognize someone?
Is it who you always hoped you would become
When you were young
When you were young
When you were young
(When you were young) when you were young
Sometimes your lack of sympathy
Gets hard to explain
So on your mask of make-up
You just paint a little parody of pain
So look into the mirror
Do you recognize someone?
It is who you always hoped you would become
When you were young
When you were young
When you were young (when you were young)
When you were young (when you were young)
When you were young (when you were young)
When you were young (when you were young)
When you were young (when you were young)
When you were young (when you were young)
