lyrics

How do we determine
Where to go from here
It's like my mind is crumbling
From the weight of all my fears

My past has been uncovered
By the slightest gust of wind
Who knew the leaves of autumn
Could hide the worst damage

Oh, what's this about?
I thought I had me figured out

But the scars of sixteen
Have proven to be
Devastating
How could he be
So mean
You wouldn't believe
The way he spoke to me
I had no say
I let him get his way
And I still cry today

Your words awfully familiar
Must be deja vu
Except now it's December
And he broke my heart in June

How are we to fix this
If you won't make a move
If you'd stop being cryptic
Maybe I'd trust you

Oh, what's this about?
I thought I had you figured out

Now the scars of eighteen
Have proven to be
Debilitating
How could he leave?
He was supposed to be
More than a fling
But now he's history
We were in love
And then one day he woke up
And said we were done

What's this about?
I thought I had this figured out
Oh, what's this about?
I thought I have love figured out

But you'd never know
How love has taken its toll
And left me out in the cold
Yet here I am now
Scared for my life I might drown
Hoping you'll turn things around

I want you to stay
I think that we'll be okay
Sixteen has nothing on me
