Discover the story of the song > When You Re Young – 3 Doors Down

The protagonist is feeling lost and trying to figure out who he is. Other people think he doesn't know what he's doing, but he believes they don't really understand him. They want him to be what they want him to be, but he feels trapped and like it's already over and done. Everything may seem perfect and okay, and people may say things will get better, but he doesn't see it happening. The days feel never-ending, but he hopes that one day he will be stronger and things will feel different. He can't understand why people can't remember what he'll never forget - that dreams can come undone when you're young.
