Wave of Youth Lyrics
[Verse 1: Jeremy DePoyster]
The broken glass wasn't the issue
Was a catalyst, just a reason to
An accident, a stroke of fate
I tried to hold it in, but I could feel it break
[Pre-Chorus: Mike Hranica & Jeremy DePoyster]
Build me up to tear me down
I fought so hard not to drown
Build me up to tear me down
Riding this wave of youth
The pattern repeats the truth
You can't understand, it's happened again
Slipped out of my hands
[Chorus: Jeremy DePoyster]
It's my fault
There's nothing left to give, you have it all
I guess that's not enough
It's my fault
Staring out as I begin to fall
It never was enough
[Verse 2: Jeremy DePoyster]
Like a parasite feeding on my doubt
Made me believe I needed help
Tried to hold it in, it wanted out
It wanted out
The broken glass wasn't the issue
Was a catalyst, just a reason to
An accident, a stroke of fate
I tried to hold it in, but I could feel it break
[Pre-Chorus: Mike Hranica & Jeremy DePoyster]
Build me up to tear me down
I fought so hard not to drown
Build me up to tear me down
Riding this wave of youth
The pattern repeats the truth
You can't understand, it's happened again
Slipped out of my hands
[Chorus: Jeremy DePoyster]
It's my fault
There's nothing left to give, you have it all
I guess that's not enough
It's my fault
Staring out as I begin to fall
It never was enough
[Verse 2: Jeremy DePoyster]
Like a parasite feeding on my doubt
Made me believe I needed help
Tried to hold it in, it wanted out
It wanted out
[Pre-Chorus: Mike Hranica & Jeremy DePoyster]
Build me up to tear me down
I fought so hard not to drown
Build me up to tear me down
Riding this wave of youth
The pattern repeats the truth
You can't understand, it's happened again
Slipped out of my hands
[Chorus: Jeremy DePoyster]
It's my fault
There's nothing left to give, you have it all
I guess that's not enough
It's my fault
Staring out as I begin to fall
It never was enough
[Verse 3: Mike Hranica]
I blame myself for everything
I fought so hard not to drown
I held up the walls, you pulled the strings
And now it's all crashing down
So please remind me
Of who I'm supposed to be
'Cause now I'm finding
It's tearing at the seams
Build me up to tear me down
I fought so hard not to drown
Build me up to tear me down
Riding this wave of youth
The pattern repeats the truth
You can't understand, it's happened again
Slipped out of my hands
[Chorus: Jeremy DePoyster]
It's my fault
There's nothing left to give, you have it all
I guess that's not enough
It's my fault
Staring out as I begin to fall
It never was enough
[Verse 3: Mike Hranica]
I blame myself for everything
I fought so hard not to drown
I held up the walls, you pulled the strings
And now it's all crashing down
So please remind me
Of who I'm supposed to be
'Cause now I'm finding
It's tearing at the seams
[Pre-Chorus: Jeremy DePoyster]
Riding this wave of youth
The pattern repeats the truth
You can't understand, it's happened again
Slipped out of my hands
[Outro Chorus: Mike Hranica & Jeremy DePoyster]
It's my fault
It's my fault
There's nothing left to give, you have it all
There's nothing left to give, you have it
Riding this wave of youth
The pattern repeats the truth
You can't understand, it's happened again
Slipped out of my hands
[Outro Chorus: Mike Hranica & Jeremy DePoyster]
It's my fault
It's my fault
There's nothing left to give, you have it all
There's nothing left to give, you have it
