I wrote my first love song at the age of eight And of course, that was years before I'd ever been in love I just thought that's what songs were supposed to be about Wrote one inspired by you in the seventh grade And of course, we weren't lovers, but you were as close as I had come That should've tipped me off, looking back on it now And as a kid, I was called mature for my age They always said it as a compliment And as a kid, you used to keep me up late Mind full of things I didn't comprehend But I was a good student, and I made improvements C'mon, this is what grown-ups do Kid, youth is no virtue, and innocence hurts you I learned that from everyone, most of all you To be liked by kids, share the most teenage things that you know And as for adults, they'll be proud if you act like them Now I'm eighteen in daydreams that formed long ago But really, I'm closer to ten And as a kid, the message was always the same Life is love is sex, take our advice And as a kid, you taught me lots of fun games Where some might say that you became my life Well, I hated that living, but knew that you'd give me A taste of what grown-ups do When I beg to be emptied, sometimes it gets tempting To blame it on everyone, most of all you And sometimes it's everyone's fault But every damn second, it's yours We might both be victims of the same stupid system But you used it to break down my doors You always could understand me But don't you dare pretend to be my fucking family Did you enjoy my candy, and are you feeling manly Now that I feel your hands each time I meet your eyes But I guess I'll keep looking, forgive how you took me 'Cause taking's what grown-ups do I'll learn to be childish; that's fine and good, I guess Still, I don't trust anyone, least of all you
