YOUNG & STUPID

Released: August 12, 2022

lyrics

Give it one more try
Take a little time
Worry not for what you did
We were young
and stupid

You got me hooked to you with how you cared
I shoulda known, but I was unprepared
You seemed so interested, was it all a lie?
I suppose I understand, but why not try?

I know that you don’t get it
But I’ve been through this before
I really had expected you to do a little more
But it’s every time I try it hurts me deeper, deep inside
I try to win you over, but you don’t need me in your life

(But I’d still say)
(But I’d still say)

Give it one more try
Take a little time
Worry not for what you did
We were young
and stupid

about

There is such naivety in young relationships.

Regardless of all the writer's existing and ongoing pain, he expresses the pseudo-sarcastic sentiment that "all is well, as we were young and didn't know any better."

Nonetheless, he asks her for another chance.
