to be young Lyrics by Alyssa Brown

When My Heart Breaks

0

[Verse 1]
You're moving away and into your own place
Too many strange faces is an unfamiliar space
And you're not always going to be happy
Everything is not always gonna go right
But remember to go through life lightly
Spread love and surround yourself with happiness
These are supposed to be the best years of your life
But even if they aren't, it's alright
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't put pressure on yourself to be the best
You've always been enough
You're sacred, even if you have no one
Don't give yourself up for love
[Chorus]
It's alright to be dumb and make mistakes
Having bad ideas and making wrong choices
You can risk it all and give it all it takes
To make your dreams come true
Because you only live once
And once you've grown up
You'll only have your memories
Of what it was like to be young
[Verse 2]
School isn't everything
It's a stepping stone to success
If it becomes too much
Take a step back
And I'm so proud you're still alive
It's all that matters
So give it all up if it's what's best
Because I only want your best
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't wish for it to go by faster
Cherish every moment while it lasts
Take it all in slowly
Remember the lights and the colors
It's never gonna look like this again
[Chorus]
It's alright to be dumb and make mistakes
Having bad ideas and making wrong choices
You can risk it all and give it all it takes
To make your dreams come true
Because you only live once
And once you've grown up
You'll only have your memories
Of what it was like to be young
[Bridge]
You grew so fast
Only the memories last
Sure, when you were little
Everything was so simple
But now you're free to make your own choices
Defy all the expectations your parents set
Don't worry about reaching all your goals
Because your best years aren't over yet
[Outro]
Remember to always have fun
Because once you've grown up
You'll only have your memories
Of what it was like to be young
