Older Guys

[Verse 1]

Look at us, we made it out alive

Those were the years that I learned to survive

Maybe youth ain't the time of our lives

They just romanticise it

Met you at a party on Halloween

You were studyin' at university

And all your friends would laugh and joke about me

But I didn't mind being a punchline at sixteen

[Chorus]

I liked that you were older

But at the time I didn't understand

It's 'cause you held the power

And I thought love was meant to feel like that

All the things I gave you

Now I wish I could takе them all right back

'Cause I wasn't a woman yet

But you wеre a man

I was just a girl in love with a man

[Verse 2]

And it felt like a twisted game you'd play

Of who could take my innocence away

But it wasn't yours, no, never yours to claim

I thought that to love was to give yourself away

[Chorus]

It sent me into orbit

Knowing that you wanted me like that

Didn't see a problem

It's only now I'm older, looking back

Made me feel so special

Now the only thing I feel is mad

'Cause I wasn't a woman yet

But you were a man

I wasn't a woman yet

But now I am

[Bridge]

You'd pick me up in your car

We'd go speedin' down the lanes

I'd meet you in town with my fake ID

Claiming I was twenty-three to get into bars

I never felt so cool

And now I know you probably knew that I

Would do anything to impress you

And now I wonder, is that how they get you?

[Chorus]

They say that your youth is meant to be the time of your life

But I feel fuckin' stupid that I was cryin' over older guys

Bet they don't think about it

Wish I knew what I know now back then

'Cause I wasn't a woman yet

But you were a man

I was just a girl in love with a man
