Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
I was only eighteen, chasing dreams
And my mother screamed
'Don't be thinking things'
I wanted fame, but who's to blame?
That life felt good enough for me to chase away, away

[Pre-Chorus]
But now that I have it all
I won't let you down, down, down, down, down
I give it all away, 'way, 'way, 'way, 'way
For another day with you
'Cause when the mirror starts to fall
I won't be around, 'round, 'round, 'round, 'round
You think of all the pain, pain, pain, pain, pain
That I've put you through

[Chorus 1]
And maybe one day I'll be forgiven
And we'll go back to the place again
When I was only eighteen, only eighteen

[Verse 2]
I had a picture, a great disaster in my mind
And the world would look at me
And love me through all disguise
But now that I'm older
I think of what I lost chasing time
I found disorder, comes in pain in this life, this life

[Pre-Chorus]
But now that I have it all
I won't let you down, down, down, down, down
I give it all away, 'way, 'way, 'way, 'way
For another day with you
'Cause when the mirror starts to fall
I won't be around, 'round, 'round, 'round, 'round
You think of all the pain, pain, pain, pain, pain
That I've put you through

[Chorus 2]
And maybe one day I'll be forgiven
And we'll go back to the place again
When I was only eighteen, only eighteen
And maybe one day I'll be forgiven
For the pain I put you in
When I was only eighteen, only eighteen

[Outro]
I was only eighteen
