I am a kid, yet you say "grow up" when I grow up I "do too much" I don't understand what you'll see me as, kid or a fool, please make up your mind Now I'm grown and you say, "look at you now all tall and grown" Yes, I see I've now grown and see what I couldn't before The kid you took as a fool was yet no fool at all for it was I younger I as a fool in your eyes You pointed out flaw like as counting how many pedals fall of a rose Yet I can't give you all the blame for you were treated the same So, do you understand the way I felt while looking right into my eyes? Or did you just let your guilt be washed over with pride...?
