Prompt / Lyrics
I was fifteen with a broken sky Grief in my lungs, learning how to survive You were twenty-three with a savior smile Saying “you’re just older than the girls your age inside” I wore pain like a welcome sign You called it love in a borrowed light Said the world just didn’t understand That our timing was the only thing not right You said someday we’d tell the story How the world just got it wrong But the truth got louder every year And now I hear it in your song Don’t say we were wrong Like we stood on equal ground Like I wasn’t still a child Trying to be someone you’d be proud of Don’t say we were wrong Like it’s blame we have to share You were twenty-three and grown I was fifteen and scared So don’t rewrite the truth Just so your conscience can be clean You were a man with choices I was only fifteen You told me I was different Not like the girls my age But that’s the oldest line in the book For dressing up a cage I thought loving you meant growing up Faster than my bones could bend But the man I see in hindsight Should’ve known where lines should end And now you send an apology Like it’s medicine for scars But you can’t undo a childhood With a message from afar Don’t say we were wrong Like the fault was shared between Two hearts that knew the difference Of twenty-three and fifteen Don’t say we were wrong Like we chose the same mistake You had years of life behind you I had barely learned to break So don’t soften what it was Just because it makes you bleed You were the one who knew better I was just a kid who believed You called it love I called it fate Now I call it something else That took me years to name Because the girl you met Was drowning already And you didn’t throw a rope You just held her steady And now you say you’re sorry Like that settles everything But men don’t fall in love with children No matter what they think Don’t say we were wrong When you know what it should mean You were twenty-three and certain I was barely seventeen Don’t ask forgiveness Just to quiet what you’ve seen You were a grown man standing there And I was only fifteen.
