No one will stand by you
When you ask too much, too soon

No one's willing to provide you
When you're eager to consume
But you'll grow up, it's not that bad

You think of feelings you once had
And although the memories fade
Certain things remain

And it's you that keeps me lonely
And it's you that brings me home
It's you that left me out here on my own

On my own
And I was just a child
I invested all I had

In a love that felt like fire, oh
With a boy and not a man
I swore I'd never love again

That my heart would never mend
[Chorus]
And you know I got a lot

I'm a friend and I'm a lover
And I've moved on from what we had
And it's safe to say that I wish you well

'Cause I don't hold the grudge no more
[Chorus]
Yes, it's you that makes me careful

'Cause it's you that breaks my heart
It's you that made me tough and twice as smart
And you know I got a lot

I'm a friend and I'm a lover
And I've moved on from what we had
And it's safe to say that I wish you well

'Cause I don't hold the grudge no more
