Close To You: Blame It On My Youth

You were my adored one
Then you became the bored one
And I was like a toy that brought you joy one day
A broken toy that you preferred to throw away

If I expected love when first we kissed
Blame it on my youth
If only just for you I did exist
Blame it on my youth
I believed in everything
Like a child of three
You meant more than anything
All the world to me

If you were on my mind all night and the day
Blame it on my youth
If I forgot to eat and sleep and pray
Blame it on my youth
And if I cried a little bit when first I learned the truth
Don't blame it on my heart
Blame it on my youth
