You walked into my house last night   I couldn't help but notice   A light that was long gone still burning strong   You were sitting, your fingers like fuses   Your eyes were cinnamon      You said you stand for every known abuse   That was ever threatened to anyone but you   And why should I know better by now   When I'm old enough not to?      While every line speaks the language of love   It never held the meaning I was thinking of   And I can't decide over right or wrong   I guess sometimes you need the place where you belong      Some may sing the wrong words to the wrong melody   It's little things like this that matter to me   Others feel that you should stand   For every known abuse to hand   And all the things that they could never see      You said you stood for every known abuse   That was ever promised to anyone like you   Don't you wish you knew better by now   When you're old enough not to?      When every line speaks the language of love   And never held the meaning I was thinking of   And I can't decide over right or wrong   You left the feeling that I just do not belong      One drink too many and a joke gone too far   I see a face driving a stolen car   Gets harder to hide when you're hitching a ride   Harder to hide what you really saw      Oh yeah, you stand for every known abuse   That I've ever seen my way through   Don't I wish I knew better by now?   Well I think I'm starting to      When every line speaks the language of love   And never held the meaning I was thinking of   And I've lost the line between right or wrong   I just want to find the place where I belong      Why should you know better by now   When you're old enough not to?   I wish I knew better by now   When I'm old enough not to
