i don't feel young

i don't feel young

i don't feel scared

i'm in control

i am prepared

i'll never cry

i'll sit and stare

i don't feel young

i don't feel old

i don't feel proud

i speak too fast

i laugh too loud

i am the smallest--

in the crowd

i don't feel old

i can't see you

but i can guess

you gave a speech

they're all impressed

but still your room

is on at night

i can't see you

and so we fight

can't have you now

i'll learn to walk

and learn to cull

the word you gave--

me in my mouth

and spit it out

if you feel young

and feel ready

or if you feel old

and just need sleep

you know your--

secret's safe with me

if you feel young

if you feel young

if you feel young
