i met you young
dumb and full of angst
you reached out to hold my hand,
i recoiled back
but it wasn't you
you told me you loved me
i was shocked into disbelief
no, that couldn't be true
i bore the flak
for telling you what i thought i knew
twenty now, a fresh man
i could see how you did
i can see how you can
too bad I didn't know it then
