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 all a mess

And so if I

Can't have you now

I'll learn to walk

And learn to count

The lot 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
