I love how you hate
the way I always say
that you'll learn someday
I love how you keep trying
to hold on to me
when I turn away
You're painting me pictures
of misses and misters
And they're pictures I'd love to believe
And that's the beautiful thing
about princes and queens
And you're being so young and naïve
You say you're a man
and you swear that you can be the world to me
But I've seen the world
and I can't be the girl that I think you need
You beg me to listen
to see what I'm missing
You're talking all Adam and Eve
And I'm tempted to try
but the problem is I
am no longer so young and naïve
You look like a face in the movies
Your kisses straight out of a dream
You treat me like I was a princess
What in the world is the matter with me
It's not that I'm jaded
but love's complicated
It's hard to see that at 19
I hear what you're saying
about having faith in
you promise me you'll never leave
And I wish I didn't know better
that I'm not so young and naïve
