I Can Get Back Up Now

there was a time when I thought that I would never be
this close with anyone
another lesson and the harshest words
I was abused at ten out in the hot pacific sun
there was the time I came to your side, it was 3 am
and you were begging me to die
one year was all it took for you to forget
to forget the best friend that always carried you

so why are you still saying I'm not when I already am?
you keep on kicking me down.
you keep on kicking me down.
and why are you still saying we won't when we already are?
you keep on kicking me down.
you keep on kicking me down.

ain't it a shame to be so young and insane?
ain't it a shame to be so young and insane?

I used to love what I used to love
moving on was a chore I was never quite ready for
they used to say I was a cautious man
it's been weeks since I looked both ways or gave a damn
there was the time I came to your side, it was 3 am
and you were begging me to die
one year was all it took for you to forget
the best from it always carried you

so why are you still saying I'm not when I already am?
you keep on kicking me down.
you keep on kicking me down.
and why are you still saying we won't when we already are?
you keep on kicking me down.
you keep on kicking me down.

ain't it a shame we're so young and insane?
we're so young and insane.
we're so young and insane.
ain't it a shame we're so young and insane?
we're so young and insane.
ain't it such a shame.
ain't it a shame we're so young and insane?
we're so young and insane.
we're so young and insane.
ain't it a shame we're so young and insane?
we're so young and insane.
ain't it such a shame.

was there something I said?
cause there sure as hell will be now.
was there something I said to make you doubt
I could get back up?
cause I can get back up.

(cause I can get back up)

ain't it a shame we're so young and insane?
we're so young and insane.
we're so young and insane.
ain't it a shame we're so young and insane?
we're so young and insane.
ain't it such a shame.

why are you still saying we won't when we already are?
ain't it a shame to be so young and insane?
