World Was Young

Do you remember when the world was young
And I could turn you on, oh I could turn you on
Do you remember when you lit me up
And then I let you down, I know I let you down
I hope that you cry less than you used to
Because I know that I still do
(I know that I do, I know that I still do)
I remember when I shut you out
I started shutting down, I started shutting down
And I remember when it hurt like hell
When I was hanging up, I can still feel it now
I hope that you cry less than you used to
Because I know that I still do
Do you remember when the world was young
You could spin me up, yeah we could turn it round
I broke the door when I was running out
I hope you fixed it up
I can't stop running now
I hope that you cry less than you used to
Because I know that I still do
(I know that I do, I know that I still do)
(I know that I do, I know that I still do)
