Young & Dumb
[Verse 1] I know we haven’t talked in like in a year or two
But I now noticed how you tried to catch my attention
And I was stupid enough to not see right through
Even though there is some tension
I want to give an explanation to you
This might just catch you off guard
I know, but what I’m saying is for real
I know that you must be scarred
And what I’m about to say, might sound surreal
But
[Chorus:] I was young, I was dumb
I couldn’t see the signs
I didn’t realize
And now your broken, now you're numb
Now I see your point of view
Now I’m not the one to comfort you
[Post-Chorus:] I didn’t mean to change your plans oooooh
But at least you're in good hands
[Verse 2] I’m not trying to say, what I did was okay
My head was capacious, I was oblivious
It was obvious, you put your feelings out on display
I was blind yet, you stayed kind
And I know I didn’t deserve it
But I don’t want you to think that
It wasn’t worth it because
[Chorus:] I was young, I was dumb
I couldn’t see the signs
I didn’t realize
And now your broken, now you're numb
Now I see your point of view
Now I’m not the one to comfort you
[Post-Chorus:] I didn’t mean to change your plans oooooh
But at least you're in good hands yeah
[Bridge:] I never got the hang of love
So how would I know what it was and what it wasn’t?
Maybe my heart was just confined
I was just blind
I'm sorry I didn’t mean to decline
Now I’m the one who’s trying
Now, I know how you felt when you were crying
You got cut, and I poured salt
I’m the one at fault because
[Chorus:] I was young, I was dumb
I couldn’t see the signs
I didn’t realize
And now your broken, now you're numb
Now I see your point of view
Now I’m not the one to comfort you

I wrote this about an old friend who kept giving me signs and everyone saw it except me. And when I understood I was too late.
