Gingerbread House

I never questioned that I didn't understand
The games we played in private
But I saw them on the TV
I saw them in a movie once
So I guess there's no need, to worry
I'm older now than I have ever been
They tried to warn me to tread carefully
But I'm the oldest that I've ever been

Insecurity meets influentiality
Age is just a number that comes with responsibility

But you should have known better than to build
The perfect house to make a wife
The perfect house to make a life
Out of gingerbread
What if it rains and this gets wet
What if it all comes crashing down
What then?
And what if I stop believing
All the things you said, what then?

Well I tell my friends all of my stories
And we'd laugh about them like they were funny
It's not like they knew much more than I did
Not like they knew I needed someone to say stop this
Now I wish I spent my weekends making sandwiches
Not having dinner in big houses talking politics
Somehow I seem to be acquiring a new family
When all I want's to see the one I have already

And I don't blame you for trying
It's not like I said anything
I don't blame you for trying
I thought this was how it's supposed to be
Thought this was how it's supposed to be
'Cos I read it in a magazine
I read it in a magazine
I read it in a magazine

But you should have known better than to build
The perfect house to make a wife
The perfect house to make a life
Out of gingerbread
What if it rains and this gets wet
What if it all comes crashing down
What then?
And what if I stop believing
All the things you said, what then?

Aah Aah
Aah Aah
