When You Were Young Lyrics by Del Amitri

When You Were Young Lyrics

    Look at the fool you have been
    They drained the pool while you drowned in the dream
    They bought your beauty and your soul
    Then softly sold you back what they stole

    So look into the mirror do you recognise someone
    Is it who you always hoped you would become
    When you were young

    The disappointment of success
    Hangs from your shoulders like a hand-me down dress
    And down nostalgia's rocky road
    You watch your former lovers growing old

    So look into the mirror do you recognise someone
    Is it who you always hoped you would become
    When you were young

    Sometimes your lack of sympathy gets hard to explain
    So on your mask of make up just paint
    A little parody of pain

    So i look into the mirror and i recognise someone
    It is who you always hoped you would become
    When you were young
