[Verse 1: Raphael Drew Boltman]
Here I am, stuck on this couch scrolling through my notes
Heart was broken, still not growing, nah
Waking up to headlines, filled with devastation again
Heart is broken, but I keep going

[Pre-Chorus: Raphael Drew Boltman & Michael Duarte]
Pain, but I won't let it turn into hate
No, I won't let it change me
Never losing sight of the one I keep inside
Now, I know it, yeah, I know it

[Chorus: Raphael Drew Boltman & Michael Duarte]
You can't take my youth away
This soul of mine will never break
As long as I wake up today
You can't take my youth away
You can't take my youth away
This soul of mine will never break
As long as I wake up today
You can't take my youth away

You can't take my youth away

[Verse 2: Raphael Drew Boltman]
It's hard to sleep at night, knowing what's outside
Feeling hopeless, I need focus
You hit me with words I never heard come out your mouth
To be honest, I don't want it, no

[Pre-Chorus: Raphael Drew Boltman & Michael Duarte]
Pain, but I won't let it turn into hate
No, I won't let it change me

[Chorus: Raphael Drew Boltman & Michael Duarte]
You can't take my youth away
This soul of mine will never break
As long as I wake up today
You can't take my youth away
You can't take my youth away
This soul of mine will never break
As long as I wake up today
You can't take my youth away

[Post-Chorus: Raphael Drew Boltman & Michael Duarte]
You can't take my youth away (can't take my youth)
You can't take my youth away
Oh, yeah

[Bridge: Michael Duarte & Raphael Drew Boltman]
Pain, but I won't let it turn into hate
No, I won't let it change me
Pain, but I won't let it turn into hate
No, I won't let it change me

[Chorus: Raphael Drew Boltman & Michael Duarte]
You can't take my youth away
This soul of mine will never break
As long as I wake up today
You can't take my youth away (my youth away)
You can't take my youth away
This soul of mine will never break
As long as I wake up today
You can't take my youth away (oh yeah)
You can't take my youth away
This soul of mine will never break
As long as I wake up today
You can't take my youth away
You can't take my youth away
This soul of mine will never break
As long as I wake up today
You can't take my youth away

You can't take my youth away
