When We Were Young

You say that you're leaving
That your hands are only dust
And the boy loves you
Oh, he loves you so much
Will you trust me
Like you did when we were young
When we were young

You say that you're wilting
But I don't see it at all
You're a thousand things
You can fly with one wing
Who would brace me
For my painful, certain fall

When we were young
I never had to worry
I never even cared
'Cause something always came my way

When we were young
I never was repeating
The same thing again, and again
Oh, something's gotta come my way

Oh, it won't be easy
As you reach your final end
When our days are spent
And I watch you transcend
Will you watch me with our loved ones in the sky
When we were young
I never had to worry

When we were young
I never had to carry
These fears are pretend
You'd save me when I close my eyes
