It took so long for him to find out,
What she did was wrong, she took his heart and turned it inside out,
And when the morning comes,
You’ll have to face them all; I told you so,
I said you should have known,
You know you should’ve known right from the start.
They try to make you walk away,
But there’s no faith in what they say,
Because they’re so far from 18, 18, 18,
18, they think they know it all but then forgot it had a hurt, to hurt, to hurt.
She’s nothing standing in the rain,
She’s not waiting for another reason to keep waiting for the perfect storm,
And now she’s laughing while she’s crying,
‘cause she’s trying not to show the smile that she has learned to fake.
They try to make you walk away,
But there’s no faith in what they say,
Because they’re so far from 18, 18, 18,
18, they think they know it all but then forgot it had a hurt.
Knowing only,
knowing, knowing only that there are 18 rules with 18 lies and 18 years of compromise,
For every time I’ve heard you say you’re only 18, anyway,
You’re only 18, anyway.
They try to make you walk away,
But there’s no faith in what they say,
Because they’re so far from 18, 18,
they think they know it all but then forgot it had a hurt, to hurt, to hurt.
