if i were older
i would know better
i'd always know just what to say.
if i were stronger
i'd hold on longer.
i wouldn't let you slip away.

but i am little
and i am silly
you've made it all too plain to see.

if i would older
you'd see me better.
i wouldn't feel so obsolete.

you laughed instead of answering
like i could never understand
just let it go, you're not that deep.
you pat my hand and shake your head.
just when did i become your pet?
you really think i'm that naive?

if you were wiser
you would be kinder
you'd think about the things you've done.
if you were strong you'd
admit you're wrong you'd
you'd see you're not the only one.

but you are little.
and you are silly.
you've made it all too plain to see.

well now i'm older
and i know better
i know that you're no good
for me.
