You were sixteen and I was all wired
You were Venus di Milo inspired
You convinced me that I was ok
I convinced you that maybe you'd stay

If I thought that you'd give up on me
I'd have never said hello
Girl you gotta know

We grew up and you grew away
But I'd follow you till my dying day
All the guys that would try for your hand
Couldn't steal you from this desperate man

And this face that you see
Well you know it ain't me
With this lack of resolve and of will
Like a dog that won't learn
Visions you can't discern
But you know me and you like me still

26 and I've grown enough
I'm not better, but I won't give up
You're still here like a flower in rain
You get knocked down then you rise up again
