Lonely Youth

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
