(Verse)
She packed her bags and she ran away
Heading off to California
Their summer's in the sun
Are always better out there
Little girl with the dream inside her heart
Is popping pills despite the artistry
They make believe that someday she'll be happy

(Pre-chorus)
And I do not think you're ready
Your mind is much
Much too young
Your heart is a machete
And it's cutting straight through

(Chorus)
Cuz I wanted this so bad
and I tried to make it last
and I tried to hold on tightly
It wasn't hard
You played the part don't you go giving up on me
And I tried to take it back
And I tried to hold on tightly
No it wasn't hard
It wasn't hard
Giving up on me
Giving up on me
Giving up on me
No it wasn't hard

(Verse)
She tied her arm just to find the vein
Circumstances left her lonely
She's got nothing to hold
Except for what she thinks now
About the prices that you pay
For having the heart that dreams of the days
When we will finally find ourselves

(Pre-chorus)
And I do not think you're ready
Your mind is much
Much too young
Your heart is a machete
And it's cutting straight through

(Bridge)
For you cuz
You don't understand
What I mean
When I am all I have
In the end
We just are what we are
Just know one thing

(Chorus)
Cuz I wanted this so bad
And I tried to make it last
And I tried to hold on tightly
It wasn't hard
You played the part don't you go giving up on me
And I tried to take it back
And I tried to hold on tightly
No it wasn't hard
It wasn't hard
Giving up on me
Giving up on me
Giving up on me
No it wasn't hard
