We used to be so fearless
Like every chance would be the last
Living as life was endless
Breaking hearts, and loving fast
Another day, and life's a party
Another drink, and I was game
Every night have me restarted
And I would drink away the pain
We did everything we wanted
And life was nothing, but a game
Life was great when we were wrong
We were careless and had fun
But now those days are gone
Youth is wasted on the young
We carried on
Wanted somewhere to belong
We were always on the run
Youth is wasted on the young
Thought we could do much better
We had blind hope in our eyes
Never believed in later
Always living for the night
Took it all for granted
But how easily we broke
Thought it'd last forever
Life was nothing, but a joke
We did everything we wanted
And life was nothing, but a game
Life was great when we were wrong
We were careless and had fun
But now those days are gone
Youth is wasted on the young
We carried on
Wanted somewhere to belong
We were always on the run
Youth is wasted on the young
How fast the years went by
Where did they go
I felt so lost back then
I just didn't know
Wanted it all faster
Patience close to none
Didn't know much better
We were just having fun
Life was great when we were wrong
We were careless and had fun
But now those days are gone
Youth is wasted on the young
We carried on
Wanted somewhere to belong
We were always on the run
Youth is wasted on the young
