[Verse 1] I left my youth upon the stairs, Somebody whispered, nobody cares. The sky is grey, the streets are cold. [Chorus] Oh, the weight of growing up, A cup half empty, a half-broken cup. I try to smile, but I frown instead, Memories dancing inside my head. [Verse 2] The boy I was wore shoes too tight, Dreamed of glory in the pale moonlight. Now I walk, a little more aware. [Chorus] Oh, the weight of growing up, A cup half empty, a half-broken cup. I try to smile, but I frown instead. [Bridge] Every letter I wrote to myself, Piled in the corner of some dusty shelf. Yet I still hope youth might visit me again. [Outro] So here I am, I walk alone, Through narrow streets I used to own. Some like the pain, some walk away.
