Too Young to Dare

I'm acting like there's something there
When there's not
It's just growing up
I'm feeling like a washed-out dream
That's been left to rot
Should I wake up
I'm looking like a light on Broadway
Broken-hearted
With a bulb that's bound to fade
And after all it's been through lately
My heart
Is bound to

Crash
Crash and burn
If it weren't
Frozen in stone
If I let her know
If I let her see
Then there may be
A better hope

She makes me
Better than I was too young to care
Now I wonder where
She'll be, I'm falling
Faster than I was too young to dare
And it's so unfair

I'm like a drowning man afraid
To ask for a life vest
So that I can breathe
I'm like a fish stuck in a mound of sand
Do I need some oxygen
Or do I need to drown

Or should I crash
Crash and burn
Or could I learn
From Romeo
Well I should know
That I can see
So differently
From the first rodeo

Well, she makes me
Better than I was too young to care
Now I wonder where
She'll be, I'm falling
Faster than I was too young to dare
And it's so unfair

What could have been
What would have been
What should have been's in front of me
She makes me
Better than I was too young to care
I think I prefer then

Why must I care
Why can't I be unaware of it all
Let's go somewhere
Where life's fair
Where we're not scared to not think at all
