"Half My Youth" lyrics

Oh my
I'm starting to think this is what giving up feels like
Feels like

I lost all my love for this earlier this year
And I've been feeling empty 'cause no one really cares
I put my heart into this and shed too many tears
Now I, feel dead inside

'Cause my life's turned into working for pennies for my art
And I've never had a love like this fold and break apart
A passion turned to purpose, a purpose turned to pain
Do I give it all up? Do I throw it all away?

I wasted half my youth counting on a dream to come true
That keeps on running, a pit left in my stomach
From losing all this time and the love I left behind
It's a shame the life I'm living, everything I've given up

Oh my
I'm starting to think this is what giving up feels like
Feels like

She said I lost all my love for us 'cause you work too damn much
It's a three person relationship, and you don't give a fuck
But it's not that I don't care or crave that kinda love
But I've been burned by what I want and I've never felt more stuck

'Cause my life's turned into working for pennies for my art
And I've never had a love like this fold and break apart
A passion turned to purpose, a purpose turned to pain
Do I give it all up? Do I throw it all away?

I wasted half my youth counting on a dream to come true
That keeps on running, a pit left in my stomach
From losing all this time and the love I left behind
It's a shame the life I'm living, everything I've given up

How my dreams turned to misery
And steal the innocence away from me
Feels like I'm giving up my destiny
Now that what I love's become the enemy

I wasted half my youth counting on a dream to come true
That keeps on running, a pit left in my stomach
From losing all this time and the love I left behind
It's a shame the life I'm living, everything I've given up
