Wave of Youth Lyrics

[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

[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

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
