When You Were Young

a song that cynder sings to spyro


You saved my life

Did you even know

How close I was to being gone

You thought you saw

Something good in me

Something I've never seen

But you made me believe

I could be worth something

And for that I must

Thank you

There was a time

I was sick of this life

Until you can along

And you picked me up

Nothing to lose

Nothing to gain You stood beside me

And eased my pain

Through your kind words

I developed self worth

I saw myself

As a dragoness

So I took my life Into my hands

I took it back

I redeemed myself

You were my angel

And you still are

You're everything I believed in

When I was young

You saved my soul so please

Accept my gratitude

If I could do the same

I would go to ends of the earth

Men die and the worms feed

Upon their bodies

But one hand, one word, kept me

From decaying

Take this back

Could we regress

To an easier time

Without need to suppress

Playing out this life

Recalling songs we sung

In the key of indifference

Just like when you were young

Tomorrow is another day

Another chance for things to go my way

Now we're batting a thousand
