Goodbye Youth

As a young adult chasing after his dream, Jaden has gone through self-doubt, disappointment and heartbreak along the journey.

By sharing his true feelings, he hopes to relate to his listeners and make them feel comforted that they are not alone.

In the days of youth
Did you fall deep in love
Party on the street
Laughed at every little thing

I’m glad if you did
Cause I lived a little differently
I made myself a joke to be
A punchline everyone’s waiting to see

Goodbye youth
For all the love and hate that I’ve been through
Goodbye
Tell me it’s alright

Goodbye youth
I’ve done well
I pray to God you’ll see
Goodbye
Leaving the ache behind so I’ll love me more

All the time I’ve spent
Wondering why I left this town
I hear the whispers all around
Maybe I should have settled down

Leaving behind good times
That I’ll never get to have
I had this picture in my head
A painting I’ll just slowly forget

Goodbye youth
For all the love and hate that I’ve been through
Goodbye
Tell me it’s alright

Goodbye youth
I’ve done well
I pray to God you’ll see
Goodbye
Leaving the ache behind so I’ll love me more

Maybe if I had more time
I’d be here with you tonight
I’ve lived a life that I’m not quite satisfied

If things all worked out just fine
Like I’ve heard all of my life
Why am I still nobody’s pride

Goodbye youth
For all the love and hate that I’ve been through
Goodbye
Tell me it’s alright

Goodbye youth
I’ve done well
I pray to God you’ll see
Goodbye
Leaving the ache behind so I’ll love me more
