So young and naive 

Not knowing right from wrong

Happy all the the time


Oh how i wish i could go back

I loved you so much

So happy during all the pain

All the hardships you kept smiling

That's why i love you


So fun and playful

Always playing with your toys

If only you could have stayed that young

It’s harder now


Wishing i could go back

Always wishing

It's hard now if only you knew

Oh younger me 

So young and naive
