We were young

 

Finally I see you there, the image is so clear
The taste of life you gave to me was slow to disappear
The embers of the fire that once burned so warm inside
Are nothing more than ashes, cold and broken like my pride
But we were hungry, we were young

I can understand the pain though it seems so long ago
I wish that I could tell you that the scars no longer show
I realise the way we were was somewhere so unreal
I knew I should have listened well when they said you couldn't feel

But we were hungry, we were young
Hungry for the answers
Hungry for the truth
Hungry for it all
Yes we were young

Sometimes in the dead of night I feel that you are near
I can't say just what it is but I know I still have fear
We played along in games of chance where no one knows the rules
They made it only for the young but they left it for the fools

Yes we were hungry, we were young
Oh we were hungry, we were young
Hungry for the answers
Hungry for the truth
Hungry for it all
Yes we were young
Hungry for the answers
Hungry for the truth
Hungry for it all
Yes we were young
