Lonely Youth Lyrics

A brother I never had

A sister too

Nobody's fault

But it comes up in talk

A simple truth

It was a lonely youth

Sure I had a lot of love

Attention too

A timid mind

I just wanted to find

A way to break through

My lonely youth

My mother said, "Listen, son

You're all we got it's all on you"

The pressure builds

Do you know how that feels

This depression's proof

Of a lonely youth

It shaped me into who I am

What can I do

Makes it hard to relate

In this crowded place

Yeah you get used

To this lonely youth

I have a thought from time to time

I wish it were true

You always were there

Someone to share

But it never cuts through

This lonely youth

Somewhere down the road a ways

I settled down with someone cool

Made a few kids

It nearly brings me to tears

A simple truth

No more lonely youth

No more excuse

For a lonely youth

Lonely youth

Lonely youth
