[Verse 1]
You need someone to hold you
You need something that you ain't been getting
Yeah, I could be the one
To tell you what to do, but it don't mean nothing
And you're holding on forever
But that something just ain't true
I'm just like you

[Pre-Chorus]
And I know, It's what I'd do
Here I go

[Chorus]
Because I couldn't stop the world because I loved you
I couldn't stop the world and I don't want to
I couldn't stop the world and I won't
Because it ain't enough

[Verse 2]
You had another bad day
You let me know that you just can't take it
I've given up on you
You live in truth and I know I can't fake it
Because the stars you see on dirty sidewalks
And they ain't for wishing, ooh
They don't come true
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know, it's what I'd do
Here I go

[Chorus]
Because I couldn't stop the world because I loved you
I couldn't stop the world and I don't want to
I couldn't stop the world and I won't
Because it ain't enough

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
Am I too young for the world?
I'm not too young for the world
And I can't change for the world
(I don't need to stop the world)
Because I don't care for the world
(I'm too young, I'm too young)
I don't make sense to the world
(I don't need to stop the world)
(I'm too young, I'm too young)
[Repeat until fade]
