Cruel To Be Young LYRICS
Got a letter from my woman just the other day
Telling me how good she feels, big deal
It only adds to my ever increasing loneliness
And you know what that means
Oh girl, don't cry, cause I wanna live, I don't wanna die
I'm here with you but you're so far away
I know it's wrong, but I don't relate and I don't belong
I'm here with you but you're so far away
It's so cruel to be young, and the songs you wanna sing have all been sung
It's no fun, to be living right now
All of the wars have been won
There's nothing anymore worth dying for
I'm so bored
You're so far away
So far away
There's a place I know where everybody wants to go
Sipping coffee vaseline, ice cream
I could go there but I know I won't enjoy myself
And you know what that means
I fly so high, that I hit the ground and I wanna die
I'm here with you but you're so far away
I know It's wrong, but I don't relate to what's going on
I'm here with you but you're so far away
It's so cruel to be young, and the songs you wanna sing have all been sung
It's no fun, to be living right now
All of the wars have been won
And there's nothing anymore worth dying for
I'm so bored
You're so far away
So far away
So far away
Leave it
I get so high that I can't look myself in the eye
I'm here with you but you're so far away, babe
You're so far away, babe
You're so far away, babe
You're so far away
So far away
So far away
So far away (repeat)
