I don't feel young

I don't feel young
I don't feel scared
I'm in control
I am prepared
I'll never cry
I'll sit and stare
I don't feel young

I don't feel old
I don't feel proud
I speak too fast
I laugh too loud
I am the smallest--
In the crowd
I don't feel old

I can't see you
But i can guess
You gave a speech
They're all impressed
But still your room
Is on at night
I can't see you

And so we fight
Can't have you now
I'll learn to walk
And learn to cull
The word you gave
Me in my mouth
And spit it out

If you feel young
And feel ready
Or if you feel old
And just need sleep
You know your
Secret's safe with me

If you feel young
If you feel young
If you feel young
