|
"I'm trouble", she said |
|
Spread out on the floor of her father's house |
|
Her promise was almost undone |
|
Under her tongue, dissolving her responsibilities |
|
To finally deny everyone with every unflattering comparison |
|
All grown up |
|
And you don't care anymore |
|
And you hate all the people that you used to adore |
|
And you despise all the rumors and lies of the life you led before |
|
Did I hear you right? You're feeling hounded and pushed around |
|
You want to just lay down and die |
|
If all of this life has been such a big disappointment to you |
|
Why don't you stop blaming some guy |
|
And go give the next one a try |
|
All grown up |
|
And you don't care anymore |
|
And you hate all the people that you used to adore |
|
And you despise all the rumors and lies of the life you led before |
|
But look at yourself |
|
You'll see you're still so young |
|
You haven't earned the weariness |
|
That sounds so jaded on your tongue |
|
"I'm weak", she says |
|
And blesses herself and gets into bed |
|
Clutching the covers to her throat |
|
So punish me now and let me go back to the sham of my life |
|
This night is the perfect antidote for all of the poison that you wrote |
|
All grown up |
|
And you don't care anymore |
|
And you hate all the people that you used to adore |
|
And you despise all the rumors and lies of the life you led before |
|
But look at yourself |
|
You'll see you're still so young |
|
You haven't earned the weariness |
|
That sounds so jaded on your tongue |
