Fourteen

Josephine, don't be mean

I wasn't tryna—

Josephine, don't be mean

I wasn't tryna—

You will bear the scars of this dark time forever

You will hear that survival is some glorious endeavor

But you're fourteen (yeah, you're fourteen)

And they're so mean (yeah, they're so mean)

But I don't think it's your fault, oh, baby

But I don't think it's your fault, oh-oh-oh

When they say they won't help you through it

It's just because they can't

When they're tryna hurt you, baby

Well, that's because they can

Yeah, you're fourteen (yeah, you're fourteen)

And they're so mean (yeah, they're so mean)

But I don't think it's your fault, oh, baby

But I don't think it's your fault, oh-oh-oh

Be careful what you wish for

You might end up buryin' me
