Lyrics for Assassins of Youth

Assassins of youth Even when they tell the truth Another part of you dies The truth is a lie Assassins of youth Sugar while I look at you They are still here going on and on You're already gone, gone I was young yesterday But now everything has changed after today And I don't know what to do Oh my youngest self, oh I, I miss you Yes, I do Assassins of youth Even when they tell the truth Another part of you dies The truth is a lie Assassins of youth Sugar while I look at you They are still here going on and on You're already gone, gone I was young yesterday But now everything has changed after today And I don't know what to do Oh my youngest self, oh I, I miss you Yes, I do In case I couldn't see The drunken one of me How sad to think you're done Even your death will die I can't believe you died I can't believe their lies But sugar while I look at you Assassins of youth
