"Young, Awkward & Lonely" lyrics

"Young, Awkward & Lonely"

The first time I fell in love
He walked into class
Smelling of roses, bubble-gum and beer
And all the girls followed him around
Like a pack of hungry wolves

Oh, and those tight jeans
On those strong legs
Those honey brown eyes
Left me breathless
And in so much pain
They always looked
Straight through me

Cause I was a little boy
Who played guitar
And drew out his dreams
On the bedroom walls
Of a broken home
Filled with broken hearts
Too many nights
I'd fall asleep
In the silent comfort of my tears

How I used to believe
That no one would ever love me
For me
Oh, to be young
Awkward and lonely

Fresh outta high school
I was sitting on the bed
Of a stranger I'd met on the internet
Flames of desire in his eyes
Setting me on fire

The taste of rose
On his soft lips
As he stripped me off my innocence
It was strawberry sweet
And turned sour in a week

Cause I was a little in over my head
Maybe a little too desperate
For one-night stands
To turn into something more than that
Too many nights I'd lie awake
To hear the sound of my own heart break

Man, I was so afraid
That everyone would walk away
In the end
Oh, to be young
Awkward and lonely

Slowly they'd come and fast they'd go (oh, oh, oh)
Until one came along worth fighting for
So don't you ever think you're the only one (no, no, no)
Who wasted half their youth waiting to be found

The pain doesn't last forever

It's okay
It's okay baby
To be young, awkward and lonely (it's okay, baby, it's okay)
It's okay baby
To be young, awkward and lonely (it's okay, baby, it's okay)
It's okay baby
To be young, awkward and lonely (it's okay, baby, it's okay)
To be young, awkward and lonely (it's okay, baby, it's okay)

It's okay baby, it's okay
