Young Hearts
Nik Qistina Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I held on to silver lining, but that was just another place for sale
Questions burning in my heart that you had made it unrecognizable
Made it unrecognizable
But I'm gone
So don't tell me how you're gonna change your mind and stay
We were never quite like young hearts
But I'm gone
So don't tell me how you're gonna change your mind and stay
We were never quite like young hearts
We were never really meant to stay
We were never quite like young hearts
We were never meant this way
We were never quite like young hearts
We were never really meant to stay
Story goes the love is blind, just like the night before the break of dawn
But you had hidden all the certainties
Why did you take me for a pawn
Answers ache beneath your skin that I have always wanted to ignore
Always wanted to ignore
But I'm gone
So don't tell me how you're gonna change your mind and stay
We were never quite like young hearts
We were never meant this way
But I'm gone
So don't tell me how you're gonna change your mind and stay
We were never quite like young hearts
We were never really meant to stay
We were never quite like young hearts
We were never meant this way
We were never quite like young hearts
We were never really meant to stay
Make me see
Dreams and fantasies
More than what I could have made of
Throw me out into the deep
Watch me sink or swim
Edge beneath my skin
We were never quite like young hearts
We were never meant this way
We were never quite like young hearts
We were never really meant to stay
