"Young & Sad" lyrics

"Young & Sad"

[Billy Ray Cyrus:]
Hey bud, this is old dad
Just wanted you to know, you ain't alone
Keep a smile on your face
Everything's gonna be fine
I love you

[Noah Cyrus:]
They say you should smile more
Darlin', show your eyes more
Aren't you satisfied?
I'm tired of trying to please someone
One who doesn't even care what's on my mind

Let me go, I don't need you to wipe my tears
Don't you know I'm only trying to disappear

Don't wanna be young and sad another day longer
Don't wanna feel numb or mad until I go under
And I know that you only want me to be happy
But I still feel lonely tonight
Don't wanna be young and sad another day longer
Another day longer

My sister's like sunshine
Always bringing good light wherever she will go
And I was born to rain clouds
When they blew the flame out
Blessed in her shadow

So let me go, I don't need you to wipe my tears
Don't you know I'm only trying to disappear

Don't wanna be young and sad another day longer
Don't wanna feel numb or mad until I go under
And I know that you only want me to be happy
But I still feel lonely tonight
Don't wanna be young and sad another day longer
Another day longer

Don't wanna be young and sad, yeah
Don't wanna be young and sad
Don't wanna be young and sad, yeah
Don't wanna be young and sad another day longer
Don't wanna feel numb or mad until I go under

Noah Cyrus explained, "Originally, when I was writing the song, the lyric was 'I want to be young and sad'. It wasn't sitting right, because I don't. There's this thing going on in music where sadness is becoming a theme." She added, "So I sat with it for a while and eventually rewrote it and flipped the lyrics to say 'don't want to be...' once I figured out that that was what was really bothering me."
On the 14th of May 2020, an animated visualizer for the single "Young & Sad" was published to preview the EP this song belongs to.
