Wasted Youth
Embracing the Journey: Confronting Regrets and Wasted Youth
Lyrics
I gotta let it go before I get older
I need to let go of certain things before getting older.
Gotta take a chance before it's all over
There's a need to take risks before life ends.
I won't forget
Memories won't be forgotten.
When everybody else has figured it out
When others have understood, I'm still struggling.
Regret is so useless, say it out loud
Expressing regrets out loud is futile.
I'm going round and round in circles wasting time
Engaged in repetitive, unproductive activities.
I figured out what I'm about
Discovering and understanding my identity.
It's a lot to talk about (we'll carry on)
There's much to discuss and endure.
I believe this twisted truth
Accepting a distorted version of reality.
Blame it on my wasted youth
Blaming mistakes on the recklessness of youth.
And I don't care
Indifference towards certain things.
When I should've cared (we'll carry on)
Not caring when I should have cared.
I've got something left to prove
A determination to prove something.
Blame it on my wasted youth
Attributing mistakes to the folly of youth.
I'm missing every chance still standing in file
Missing opportunities while waiting in line.
Drowning in a sea of hope and denial
Feeling overwhelmed by hope and denial.
Don't let me drown
Requesting not to be abandoned or ignored.
It's turning out to be one hell of a ride
Life is unfolding in a challenging manner.
Regret is so useless, stuck in my mind
Regrets persistently haunt the mind.
I can't face my own demons and this sad old truth
Struggling to confront personal challenges.
I figured out what I'm about
Understanding personal identity and purpose.
It's a lot to talk about (we'll carry on)
Enduring challenges and continuing forward.
I believe this twisted truth
Accepting a twisted version of reality.
Blame it on my wasted youth
Blaming errors on the recklessness of youth.
And I don't care
Indifference towards certain things.
When I should've cared (we'll carry on)
Not caring when I should have cared.
I've got something left to prove
A determination to prove something.
Blame it on my wasted youth
Attributing mistakes to the folly of youth.
I can't believe that this is how it's come
Disbelief in the current state of affairs.
Too long and gone, I'm stuck inside this home
Feeling trapped and isolated in a familiar place.
I know I'll find a reason for my own
Confident that a purpose will be discovered.
Inside this empty life
Experiencing a void in an unfulfilled life.
I figured out what I'm about
Understanding personal identity and purpose.
It's a lot to talk about (we'll carry on)
Enduring challenges and continuing forward.
I believe this twisted truth
Accepting a twisted version of reality.
Blame it on my wasted youth
Blaming errors on the recklessness of youth.
And I don't care
Indifference towards certain things.
When I should've cared (we'll carry on)
Not caring when I should have cared.
I've got something left to prove
A determination to prove something.
I'll blame it on my wasted youth
Attributing mistakes to the folly of youth.
