"Old Soul" lyrics

Open my shades to let a little bit of light in
No one told me that night fell long ago
I close the blinds
I'm so sick of these city lights
That never show me anything that I want to see
And there's nothing around here worth doing
So I'll lay in bed and try to sleep
What else is there to do
There's nothing else to do
(There's nothing else to do)

But that's alright
That's what I'm used to
Disappointment never killed a man
But it sure takes its toll believe me
That was pretty bold for me to say at only 17

But life's made me quite cynical
And if it's true what I've been told
That stress kills I won't live to be that old
I guess I wouldn't mind that
(I guess I wouldn't mind that)

I've been told to enjoy it while it lasts
But I'm not sure if they mean my youth or my happiness
If they mean my happiness
I failed them long ago
If they mean my youth
It's too late I'm already an Old Soul

But that's alright
That's what I'm used to
Disappointment never killed a man
But it sure takes its toll believe me
I feel exhausted but there's still so much that I haven't seen

Life's made me quite cynical
And if it's true what I've been told
That stress kills I won't live to be that old
I guess I wouldn't mind that
(I guess I wouldn't mind that)

If it's true what I've been told
That stress kills I won't live to be that old
I guess I wouldn't mind that

If it's true what I've been told
That stress kills I won't live to be that old
I guess I wouldn't mind that

It's too late for me
I'm already an Old Soul
(If it's true what I've been told
That stress kills I won't live to be that old
I guess I wouldn't mind that)
I'm already an Old Soul
