Young & Naive


Young & naive, yeah that was me You're sky blue eyes oh how I was mesmerized. In the playground you captured my heart, And to think we were only in kindergarten It was all innocent & pure my 1st crush was you. Young & naive I was a hopeless romantic You're honey brown eyes oh how my feelings were gigantic How'd you stop by my house & we'd play pretend Oh yeah I forgot to mention we were only eight Best friends side by side an unspoken bond we had made. Middle school oh that was something, A bad boy pretending to be my prince charming I knew better, I was smarter than that But what could I say he just blew me away I kept my guard up and we grew apart. High school came along & I hadn't learn a thing My poor heart was still young & naive When I meet him he became my every thing I only had eyes for him even though he only saw friendship What could I say it wasn't meant to be, I still had childish dreams. The heart wants what the heart wants Even if it meant someone completely different I caught his eye & he became my bull’s eye Everything was sweet as peaches or so i thought I was only left with a broken heart. It’s all good I've lived & I've learned From each experience I’ve gain something new My heart is still beating this time to a whole new beat Happy as could be yeah that's the new me. Still young but no longer naive.
