[Verse 1]

My brother opened up my bedroom door

A grin, the sight of me on my floor

He said, "Please tell me all the things about you that I'd never know"

He said, "Please tell me all the things about you that I didn't know"

And I said:

[Chorus]

"Woah, it's a shame, it's a shame that you're so young and I'm so empty"

"Woah, it's a shame, it's a shame that you're so young and I'm so empty"

[Verse 2]

"Mature beyond my years" is just a figure of speech

And I have no shame in what my father preached to me when I was a boy

So what am I doing wrong?

I know I won't be this young forever

I'll take my time growing old

It won't get the best of me

[Chorus]

"Woah, it's a shame, it's a shame that you're so young and I'm so empty"

"Woah, it's a shame, it's a shame that you're so young and I'm so..."

[Outro]

I know I won't be the one

To break these chains

Off of my body
