Mmm, mmm, mmm
Heavy boots on a gravel road
Fourteen years with a heavy load
Nobody asks where you spent the night
Growing up too fast in a quiet room
Waiting for the morning to dispel the gloom
Oh,
teenage years are a quiet war
Fighting for things you can't afford
Left in the dark but we try to shine (ooh-ooh)
Broken glass on the kitchen floor
Locking latch on the bedroom door
Counting down till the age of escape
Oh,
teenage years are a quiet war
Fighting for things you can't afford
Left in the dark but we try to shine (ooh-ooh)
Mmm, mmm, mmm
