The Angst of Youth

Verse
I'm still the same as when I was sixteen
Lost and confused, with a heart that's never clean
I thought I'd outgrow this angst and pain
But it still lingers, like a never-ending rain

Chorus
The angst of youth, it never leaves your soul
It's a part of you, and it takes its toll
The heartaches and the tears, they never fade away
The angst of youth, it's here to stay

Verse
I used to think that I'd find my way
But I'm still searching, day by day
I thought I'd leave the past behind
But the memories haunt me, like a ghost in my mind

Chorus
The angst of youth, it never leaves your soul
It's a part of you, and it takes its toll
The heartaches and the tears, they never fade away
The angst of youth, it's here to stay

Bridge
I wish I could go back in time
And tell my younger self to be kind
To let go of the pain and the fear
To believe that the future is near

Chorus
The angst of youth, it never leaves your soul
It's a part of you, and it takes its toll
The heartaches and the tears, they never fade away
The angst of youth, it's here to stay

Outro
I may be older, but I'm still the same
With a heart that's wounded and a soul that's stained
The angst of youth, it never truly fades
It's a part of who we are, and it never goes away
