East is the way that I shouldn't go
I've been holdin' on to us again
I know, I know it's my own
Plead with the things I can't control
So leave the door open it's worth the toll
I need you like a child
You're somewhere in my bones
I hate you for a while
Then forgive you
I swear I know it's like home
It doesn't really matter how far you go
I gave you my youth
But you kept the kid
He's still in your arms
When I picture him
Now I wonder if
He'll ever live
The life for himself
A life you're not in
I can't remеmber all the things
I'm supposed to feel
(It's gеtting old now)
I swear this life it used to hold a little hope
(Then it burned out)
And maybe I
Maybe I could take it back
But I need you for that
So don't deny it
You hold me still
Like there's no guilt
My eyes they wilt
Looking for a sign
The part of me you keep is still mine
I gave you my youth
But you kept the kid
He's still in your arms
When I picture him
Now I wonder if
He'll ever live
The life for himself
A life you're not in
I gave you my youth
He's still in your arms
Now I wonder if
I'll ever live
The life for myself
A life you're not in
