youth by shawn mendes ft. kahlid
i really have nothing to say but if you haven't listened to Youth by Shawn Mendes ft. Khalid, then you have to.
It's beautiful, powerful, deep, and so inspiring for everyone. This song was written for the victims of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Shooting. The lyrics gives you goosebumps and most of all, hope that maybe one day, this serious issue can change and we can finally go to school without fearing of dying. In the BBMA, they performed with the choir of that high school. Please go watch.
Here are the lyrics:
[Verse 1: Shawn Mendes & Khalid]
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
My heart is broken, but I keep going
[Pre-Chorus: Shawn Mendes with Khalid]
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: Shawn Mendes & Khalid]
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: Shawn Mendes & Khalid]
You can't take my youth away
[Verse 2: Shawn Mendes & Khalid]
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: Shawn Mendes, & Khalid]
Pain, but I won't let it turn into hate
No, I won't let it change me
[Chorus: Shawn Mendes & Khalid]
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: Shawn Mendes & Khalid]
You can't take my youth away (can't take my youth)
You can't take my youth away
Oh, yeah
[Bridge: Khalid & Shawn Mendes]
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: Shawn Mendes & Khalid]
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 (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
