Welcome to your 20s
Living free and fun
But you don’t know a single thing
You’re too damn young
Opinions on the table
Supported well and strong
But they don’t hold their weight with us
You’re too damn young
Burden weight is building
On your shoulders hung
But your pain cannot be real
You’re too damn young
Emotions hard to handle
Your battles rarely won
But hard for you is not true hard
You’re too damn young
Knowledge gaining dailly
You know you’re far from done
What you’ve gained is meaningless
You’re too damn young
Mistakes are always imminent
Honest when you’re wrong
Our forgiveness out of sympathy
You’re too damn young
Our mess-ups you are missing
Success in veering from
We still wish them upon you cause
You’re too damn young
We’ve all had our downfalls
From that you’ve no freedom
There’s no way of evading it
You’re too damn young
The taller your successes
You’ll further fall undone
You do not know true failure yet
You’re too damn young
How can I take an action
Thought or emotion
When all of those around me say
I’m too damn young
Meaningness or value
Of myself has dropped to none
With all of your discredit since
I’m too damn young
Fairness out the window
Trust is all but gone
Doubt for that I can’t control
I’m too damn young
You’re the master of mistakes
With the suffering you’ve done
All it’s left you with is right to say
“You’re too damn young”
