Experience Has Told Me

I am not old, at all But still old enough to know That I’ve been a burden And my heart has led me astray.

Listen to my voice Through that old MP3 And tell me if you understand Will you follow what I’ve said? Experience has told me That you will date a boy Who is not right for you. Experience has told me That you’ve been in a yelling match Or two. Experience has told me That you’ve pushed people away And locked yourself in away. Experience has told me That from all of that You grew. If I only knew What I do today I would not be who I am now. Maybe smarter And with a less shameful history But these lessons I share Would not have been mine to give.
