It's all just fine back when we're 17   We don't know what we'll be   And it was all so free   'Cause it's all good 'til we grow complacent   Staying the same has made me impatient      And I'm guilty   And too tired   Of not being better   But oh, how I wish I were   Don't tell me now   That's just the way it is      Another recipient of unoriginal sin   Handed down from the years we've wasted   Playing this game, we all feel the same   We all lose this way again and again and again      And I'm guilty   And too tired   Of not being better   But oh, how I wish I were   Don't tell me now   That's just the way it is      Don't make it so easy   Try to find the light you know you wanna be, hey, hey    We'll all change the world someday   Just don't forget what we're fighting for      I caught your eyes the moment the light died   How can you feel right if you've never known glory?    I know it's hard to not feel the blame    Don't play along    Don't quote the old ways      We gotta be honest with ourselves   Don't tell me now, that you'll "never again"   That's a lie that won't hold for too long   You can't, you can't let go      And I'm guilty   And too tired   Of not being better   But oh, how I wish I were   Don't tell me now   That's just the way it is      Don't make it so easy   Try to find the light you know you wanna be, hey, hey    We'll all change the world someday   Just don't forget what we're fighting for      And I'm guilty   And too tired   Of not being better   But oh, how I wish I were   Don't tell me now   That's just the way it is      Don't make it so easy   Try to find the light you know you wanna be, hey, hey    We'll all change the world someday   Just don't forget what we're fighting for      Don't make it so easy   Breakdown, breakdown   There's gotta be a better way than this, hey, hey      We'll all change the world someday   Just don't forget why we're fighting      We'll save the world someday    Just don't forget what we're fighting for
