[Verse 1] My ultimate existential aim Was clearing the dirt from your ruined name To sell to the crowd I took the commission and owned the whole scam and the shame My ultimate hope for us both to be Was building a warm home for you and me And proving to me, that I conquered myself, and proving to all they can see [Pre-Chorus] But what do I even know? What do I even know? I'm just a young girl, romantic and crazy But… what do I even know? What do I even know? 'Bout this show… [Chorus] So maybe you will Be the mature mind? And then a small piece of your dignity wouldn't be left behind. Maybe just this once Be the mature mind? And then we could close it all up and talk, and some closure we'd find. If you have a decade on me, Why treat me so terribly? Take a look exactly now, how it's hard to speak my mind. So maybe you will Be the mature mind? The years keep on running and you're in no rush, I find. [Verse 2] My ultimate point of self-sacrifice Was paying the toll for your heavy vice Convincing the world that I held all the dice and controlling the heavy price My ultimate hope in this empty space Was giving your shadows a saving grace And proving to me I could carry the weight, putting on a courageous face [Pre-Chorus] But what do I even know? What do I even know? I'm just a young girl, romantic and crazy But… what do I even know? What do I even know? 'Bout this show… [Chorus] So maybe you will Be the mature mind? And then a small piece of your dignity wouldn't be left behind. Maybe just this once Be the mature mind? And then we could close it all up and talk, and some closure we'd find. If you have a decade on me, Why treat me so terribly? Take a look exactly now, how it's hard to speak my mind. So maybe you will Be the mature mind? The years keep on running and you're in no rush, I find. [Bridge] You played the wise man, the one who's lived long, But wisdom is knowing when you have done wrong. You smoke out your guilt with a cheap cigarette, And leave me to drown in a sea of regret. I took all your blame 'cause you couldn't stand tall, A ten-year head start, yet I’m taking the fall! You’re just a small boy in a tailored disguise, And I am exhausted from covering lies! [Chorus] So maybe you will Be the mature mind? And then a small piece of your dignity wouldn't be left behind. Maybe just this once Be the mature mind? And then we could close it all up and talk, and some closure we'd find. If you have a decade on me, Why treat me so terribly? Take a look exactly now, how it's hard to speak my mind. So maybe you will Be the mature mind? The years keep on running and you're in no rush, I find.
