I plead ignorance.
Its all I can do.
Because you wouldn't lie to me right?
(right?)
I mean you told me when I was 8 I'd understand when I'm older
(It was about that word and feelings we shoulder)

Those times when I was given a fat lip you said it took a bigger man to take it then give it.

Again you told me at 16 when i began to make a scene at the dinner table. ( About picking me up from school in that '93 sable)

When Im older
Older
Just when Im older.

SO I figured when I was 18, I would tell her that it really does get easier, you'll see when your older. (because you always said it would. "These days they do get warmer."
and you wouldn''t lie.)

(would you?)
(could you?)

Well Im 20 and just a few monthes from 21.
Ive been turned down
Beat down
stared down
in this working class blue collar "go to collage" its gets better town.

I dont get it.
Im older
Im bolder
and I can shoulder

So tell me the truth.
it doesnt get easier does it.
It was ignorance that led me to believe it does wasnt it?

Wait yea I know
"i'll understand once I get older"
