Older Guys

Look at us, we made it out alive Those were the years that I learned 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 It sent me into orbit Knowing that you wanted me like that Didn't see a problem It's only now I'm older, looking back Made me feel so special Now the only thing I feel is mad 'Cause I wasn't a woman yet But you were a man I wasn't a woman yet But now I am 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 twenty-three to get into bars I 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? They say that your youth is meant to be the time of your life But I feel fucking stupid that I was crying over older guys Bet they don't think about it Wish I knew what I know now back then 'Cause I wasn't a woman yet But you were a man I was just a girl in love with a man
