You need someone to hold you
  You need somethin' 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
  And I know
  It's what I'd do
  Here I go
    Cuz I couldn't stop the world, cuz 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
  Cuz it ain't enough
    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
    Cuz the stars you see on dirty sidewalks
  And they ain't for wishin', ooh
  They don't come true
  And I know, it's what I'd do
  Here I go
    Cuz I couldn't stop the world, cuz 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
  Cuz it ain't enough
    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)
  'Cause 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)
