lyrics

When you met me I was seventeen
Just graduated, life was still pretty good to me
Like when you said we were meant to be
Well I’m twenty-eight, see I’m a little bit older now

Do you hate me for what I’ve done?
Thinking I don’t want to be alone, but singing I don’t need anyone
Is it always as it’s told?
I’ve been doing some thinking, see I’m a little bit older now

So it goes, did I waste my time?
Never would have been fine, 20/20 hindsight
“I don’t know” is my favorite line
Look around I didn’t see it, only wanted to believe it

I remember better days
I was not yet jaded, living like everything goes my way
That’s when you said I was just what you need
I was elated, but you know I’m a little older now

I don’t care if you regret what we’ve done
I have healed and I moved on and now I don’t take shit from anyone
People come and people go, others I don’t care to know
Or so I’ve noticed, see I’m a little bit older now

So it goes, don’t see eye to eye
I can’t understand the other side
But I don’t know why we’ve got to lie
Can I trust what you are saying? I don’t like this game we’re playing

So it goes, did I waste my time?
Never would have been fine, 20/20 hindsight
“I don’t know” is my favorite line
Look around I couldn’t see it, only wanted to believe it
