Blame It on My Youth
Innocence Lost: Blaming Youth for Love's Betrayal
Lyrics
You were my adored one
You were someone I deeply admired and cherished
Then you became the bored one
Then you lost interest or enthusiasm
I was like a toy
I was like an object
That brought you joy one day
That once made you happy
A broken toy
But now damaged and discarded
That you preferred to throw away
You chose to throw me away
If I expected love
If I hoped for affection
When we first kissed
When we initially kissed
Blame it on my youth
Attribute it to my youthful naivety
If only just for you I did exist
Even if my existence solely revolved around you
Blame it on my youth
Blame it on my young age and lack of experience
I believed in everything
I trusted wholeheartedly in everything
Like a child of three
Like a very young child
You meant more than anything
You were the most significant thing to me
All the world to me
You meant the world to me
If you were on my mind
If you occupied my thoughts constantly
All night and day
Throughout day and night
Blame it on my youth
Blame it on my youthful infatuation
If I forgot to eat and sleep and pray
Even if I neglected basic needs due to you
Blame it on my youth
Blame it on my youthful indiscretion
If I cried a little bit
If I shed a few tears
When first I learned the truth
Upon discovering the harsh reality
Don't blame it on the stars
Don't attribute it to fate or destiny
Don't blame it on your smile
Don't attribute it to your charm
Don't blame it on my eyes
Don't attribute it to my perception
Blame it on my youth
Blame it on my youthful lack of understanding
