You're young until you're not
You love until you don't
You try until you can't
You laugh until you cry
You cry until you laugh
And everyone must breathe
Until their dying breath.”

“Many seek and never see,
anyone can tell them why.
O they weep and O they cry
and never take until they try
unless they try it in their sleep
and never some until they die.
I ask many, they ask me.
This is a great mystery.”

What happens after that?

In which you head straight and always hit a wall.”

“Why after all these years we've been together
must you behave as if we'd hardly ever spoken,
let alone met?
It seems that you're happy as long as I'm upset.
Oh why, oh why, oh why?
Is it that you don't love me? Oh why?
Have you just had enough of me?
Oh why do I always have cry myself to sleep
seven days a week?”

Gilbert O'Sullivan (1946) Irish singer-songwriter

And I ain't nothing like I was before,
You ought to see me now”

But you don't touch
Then you won't touch
But you'll never feel
And if you don't feel
You'll never cry
And if you don't cry
Then you'll never heal.”
