I Was Never Young

I was never young even as a child,

I was never young, I always felt beguiled,

No, I just never smiled,

But you, you have a glow, glow from an innocence I'll never know.



'Cause I was never young even as a boy,

No, I was never young, kindness seemed a ploy to temper or alloy,

But you, you have a mind full of a wonderment I'll never find,

'Cause I was never young.



Ever since I was a kid I've been a brutal basket cast,

Ever since I was a kid I've been a brooding basket case.
