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
