Lyrics The Magic of Youth - Leila Pari

Five years ago
I was sleeping alone
Had a heart made of glass
And a mind made of stone

Age old scars
Said If I pushed hard
I might get far
But I thought I'd get farther

Knees on the ground
Screaming "WHY ME!"
A fist to the sky
Bloody knuckles and dreams

Time flies by
There's only change
And I start to wonder
If it's me or this place

How do you let go
Of that fantasy you hold?
When you were all alone
& time felt like it didn't matter
How do you move on
When you just don't know?
If the future is better than what you've known
Or is there only getting old?

I fell in love
A couple of times
Thought that I won
Thought they were right
Couldn't get enough
So drunk on the high
Of that kind of life
Before You and I
Dancing between
Money and fame
Falling in love
Building a name
Swore there'd be a day
I was inside
That masterful play
Living my best life

How do you let go
Of that fantasy you hold?
When you were all alone
& time felt like it didn't matter
How do you move on
When you just don't know?
If the future is better than what you've known
Or is there only getting old?

You say if I still feel like a teen
There might be something
I never had
That I am still chasing
The simple truth
The magic of youth
The magic of youth
The magic of you and I
Still haunts me

How do you let go
Of that fantasy you hold?
When you were all alone
& time felt like it didn't matter
How do you move on
When you just don't know?
If the future is better than what you've known
Or is there only getting old?
