Young and Dumb

Young girl

Dumb girl

How many times are you going to think he’s the right one

How many times are you willing to get hurt

Mentally

Psychically

Be careful

You’ll get a bad reputation

I know you

You pretend to be strong

But you’re weak so weak

How many times will you allow him to break you down

You’re to young

I want to protect you

But I’m no better than you

I fall just as hard

And as fast

Im impulsive

And weak

But I want to change that

I want to help you

But what could I do

What if this time he’s the right one

Or

What if he’s just like the others

All the broken promises

All the heartbreak

We’ll never truly know

Until it’s to late

Why must we bare the burden of young love

They think its dumb

And it is

They say it wont last

And it probably wont

But we still look for it

Hoping

That maybe

Just maybe it’s him

That he’ll be able to fix all the hurt

Always saying

Maybe next time

Maybe next time?

How many next times will there until you know

Is it even worth it?

I guess we’ll just have to wait

We’ll find out together

We’ll go through the pain together

We’ll do it all together.

But

Maybe next time we wont be so young and dumb.
