I`m trouble` she said
Spread out on the floor of her father`s house
Her promise was almost undone
Under her tongue, dissolving her responsibilities
To finally deny everyone with unflattering comparison
CHORUS
All grown up
And you don`t care anymore
And you hate all the people that you used to adore
And you despise all the rumors and lies of the life you led
before
Did I hear you right?
You`re feeling hounded and pushed around
You want to just lay down and die
If all of this life has been such a big disappointment to you
Why don`t you stop blaming some guy
And go give the next one a try
CHORUS
But look at yourself
You`ll see you`re still so young
You haven`t earned the weariness
That sounds so jaded on your tongue
`I`m weak` she says
And blesses herself and gets into bed
Clutching the covers to her throat
`So punish me now and let me go back to the sham of my life`
`This night is the perfect antidote for all of the poison that
you wrote`
CHORUS
