"Youngblood" lyrics

Sometimes we're left to uncover the wreckage
At the mercy of another's decision

He was almost seventeen
Decided life was not worth living
Put a gun to his pain
To finally make it go away

I hope you know that you're missed
And even though your shell is gone,
In our hearts you still exist
I just wish you knew how much you meant
To everyone around you
To those you never met

He was too young
Taken by his own hand
No one would understand
Why he ended it all

But now you're gone

You left a hole in the hearts of those who treasured you the most
You may have left your mark but you left us all in the dark

So I'll sing
For the weak
For the broken, those in need
And I'll keep
My heart in reach
Left wide open, set you free
You were loved

I always saw the light in you and a smile on your face
Full of passion, full of purpose, ready to take your place
I guess we'll never understand why you chose to say goodbye
But when a future is as bright as yours, we are left to wonder why

He was too young
Taken by his own hand
No one would understand
Why he ended it all

You're never coming back
There's so many things I wish I would've said
The flashbacks replay in my head
This song is all that I have
Because you're never coming back
