When You Were 18
By: Griffen Alexander

Your lips are sealed as you kiss me so lightly
It’s barely enough to call it acting
And that smile you gave wasn’t fooling anyone
The corners of your mouth
Were slightly tilted down
Remember that for the next time

And it’s not me
This time
Your eyes tell a story
Your words never could
As for me
Tonight
I’m done

Your hand in mine has never felt so small
It’s like you’re barely holding on
And if I’m lucky I’ll get
Another weak performance
Don’t mind me I’m just the audience

Chorus

I don’t think I messed up
I don’t think I did anything
I don’t think I could love you anymore if I tried
But you don’t try anymore with me

I liked you better when you were 18
I liked you better when you were 18
This all felt better when you still loved me
When you were 18
