Look at us, we made it out alive Those were the years that I learnt to survive
Maybe youth ain't the time of our lives They just romanticise it
Met you at a party on Halloween You were studying at university
And all your friends would laugh and joke about me
But I didn't mind being a punchline at sixteen
* I liked that you were older But at the time I didn't understand
It's 'cause you held the power And I thought love was meant to feel like that
All the things I gave you Now I wish I could take them all right back
'Cause I wasn't a woman yet But you were a man I was just a girl in love with a man
And it felt like a twisted game you'd play Of who could take my innocence away
But it wasn't yours No, never yours to claim I thought that to love was to give yourself away
( * )
You'd pick me up in your car We'd go speeding down the lanes I'd meet you in town
With my fake ID, claiming I was 23 To get into bars I'd never felt so cool and
Now I know you probably knew that I Would do anything to impress you
And now I wonder, is that how they get you?
