Barely old enough to know what life's about But you think you know just enough to know you want out No shoulder to rest your weary head You curse the beauty that brought you to their beds Wish I could tread where fools hadn't been Go back to before the cold set in Before you were scarred by the tracks of your tears I wish I could've known you in your softer years Your hair smells like a cigarette Have you been doin' things you will come to regret I tried to resist you, but now I'm part of your shame But l won't be a player in our worn out game Wish I could tread where fools hadn't been Go back to before the cold set Before you were scarred by the track of your tears I wish I could've known you in your softer years Wish I could take away the rage Oh, but you still hold it in your black embrace Wish I could tread where fools hadn't been Go back to before the cold set in Before you were scarred by the track of your tears I wish I could've known you in your softer years
