Blue Youth

Theo Moon

City lights step on my shadow

Fading out, without a sound

In a crowd of laughing faces

I keep fading, can't be found

 

Where did all my dreams go?

Time runs past, leaves me behind

 

Was this love, or was it youth?

Every day just slips away

All the shining days I used to know

Now fade into the gray

 

Underneath this empty sky

I stand here, lost in mind

 

Was this love, or was it youth?

This was never what I dreamed

Walking through a never-ending night

Where no one’s watching me

 

I once believed the world was mine

Thought I could do anything

Could I hug that boy again

And give him light, just one small thing?

 

Was this love, or was it youth?

Tears keep blooming into truth

Someday I just hope that I can smile

Above these hurting days
