Waste My Youth (Live Version) Lyrics

You and I both know

This was gonna happen at some point

You and I both know

That I'd rather not do this over the phone

But here we are

You and I both know

There is so much left to say

But there are several thousand

Miles in the way

We should be talking like we used to

When we were sitting on your couch

Watching tv

And you would almost fall asleep

Now we are wide awake

On the brink of making

The biggest mistake of our lives

I need some time to figure out who I am

Without you or I'll start to hate myself

For wasting my youth on somebody else

You and I both know

That I love spending time with you

But I really need some space

That doesn't mean our past will be erased

You and I both know

That I have to flick the dominoes

So they'll fall right into place

I need to pick up the pace

If I want to run this race

I need some time to figure out who I am

Without you or I'll start to hate myself

For wasting my youth on somebody else

I am all that I'd have if I lost you

And I can't afford to lose myself

I cannot waste my youth on somebody else

I need to push the buttons

Need to untie all the strings

I need to scream at the sky

When all I ever did was sing

I want to cut all the ropes

I need to shed my old skin

I need to go to a place

Where I can watch my life begin

I need some time to figure out who I am

Without you or I'll start to hate myself

For wasting my youth on somebody else

I am all that I'd have if I lost you

And I can't afford to lose myself

I cannot waste my youth on somebody else

I need some time I need some space

I cannot stand still if I want to run this race

I need to find myself

I cannot waste my youth on somebody else
