You Look So Young
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You're lonesome in the morning
In the morning where you lay
Toss your head against the window
Beads form like crooked trains
You look so young
Have you ever been afraid?
You look so young
And I'm feeling so ashamed
Selfish thoughts and selfish reasons
Lead to my own demise
Once this world is taken from me
Stripped bare my soul will rise
You look so young
Have you ever been afraid?
You look so young
And I'm feeling so ashamed
When will you ever learn?
When will you ever learn?
I see familiar faces
Been down this road before
Like a steer, we're led to slaughter
Why fight what's carved in stone
You look so young
Have you ever been afraid?
You look so young
And I'm feeling so ashamed
You look so young
Have you ever been afraid?
You look so young
And I'm feeling so ashamed
