[Verse 1]

Eighteen years in my backyard

Kept me safe in your loving arms

But now what?

I can't be there forever

Little squares all lining up

You made it all so perfect but

I'm growing

And I can't be there forever

[Pre-Chorus]

The longer I stay on Auburn Street

The harder it'll be to leave

[Chorus]

Who do you think you're saving?

The world is slowly breaking

I swear I'm strong enough to take the weight from off your shoulders

And you can't stop the changing

That everybody's making

I'll only get weaker if you stop me gеtting older

You can't be the gatеkeeper

[Verse 2]

Pieces of you made my heart

So you don't want it torn apart

I get it

But let me learn my lessons

'Cause someone will love me the same

But that don't mean you've got to give me away

I get it

Just let me learn my lessons

[Pre-Chorus]

The longer I stay on Auburn Street

The harder it'll be to leave

[Chorus]

Who do you think you're saving?

The world is slowly breaking

I swear I'm strong enough to take the weight from off your shoulders

And you can't stop the changing

That everybody's making

I'll only get weaker if you stop me getting older

You can't be the gatekeeper

[Bridge]

Can't stop time moving too fast

If you can't let go you're only holding me back

Who do you think, who do you think, who do you think? (Mmm)

Can't stop time moving too fast

If you can't let go you're only holding me back

Who do you think, who do you think, who do you think?

[Chorus]

Who do you think you're saving?

The world is slowly breaking

I swear I'm strong enough to take the weight from off your shoulders

And you can't stop the changing

That everybody's making

I'll only get weaker if you stop me getting older

You can't be the gatekeeper

You can't be the gatekeeper

You can't be the gatekeeper
