Slipping Away - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

We look up to the sky, swear it never ends

Walk down the road on any path we choose

But then something changed, now days aren't the same

I'm feeling so empty like part of me has been removed

My youth is getting older

Got left out in the bitter cold

Now I put it on the back burner where it doesn't belong

Where did I go wrong?

Let me stop to ask the question

"Will I ever get the chance to repeat?" (repeat)

I feel this more and more everyday

Take me back to when I used to believe

Nothing could prepare you, but we try our best

Failure upon failure, what happens next?

Nothing's ever easy but life still goes on

Don't stop push on before you become withdrawn

I've become withdrawn

My youth is getting older

Got left out in the bitter cold

Now I put it on the back burner where it doesn't belong

Where did I go wrong?

My innocence is gone

Where did I go wrong?

I feel it slipping away, from me

I feel it slipping away

Do you remember when we were free?

I've stood up on that ledge, and I know what you see

You're looking over the edge and wanting to leap

I've written every word, expressed all my concerns

You're losing that part of yourself, but it wasn't meant to be

My youth is getting older

Got left out in the bitter cold

Now I put it on the back burner where it doesn't belong

Where did I go wrong?

My youth is getting older

It got left out in the bitter cold

Now I put it on the back burner where it doesn't belong

(Where it doesn't belong)

My innocence is gone
