When I Was Young Lyrics by Home Video

A Quiet Place

2011

I remember when it began
As just a small concession
A white lie here and there
A glance turns into a stare
For the first time in my life
I believed I was someone I
Could never be
But it was just in fun
To test the waters out
I soon lost sight of what was
Wrong and what was right
Found confidence in rhetoric
Where once I would shudder
Just to think, now I
Voraciously drank
When you see me laughing
At the sun, take me down
With a merciful shot
Like a lamе dog whining
In the dust, take me down
With a mеrciful shot
I am swollen and fat
Tender with bloated pride
I am an open wound
Tumbling like a rock
The bridge is burned
Too far to go back
When left alone
My spine tends to crack
When you see me laughing
At the sun, take me down
With a merciful shot
Like a lame dog whining
In the dust, take me down
With a merciful shot
When you see me laughing
At the sun, take me down
With a merciful shot
Like a lame dog whining
In the dust, take me down
With a merciful shot
