Premature
Beholdthebutterfly
Premature
I think I was grown years before I was born
And the cornerstone that replaced my heart is torn
And I need to know the answers to questions yet to be asked
And I am a distraction to those on the straight path
Chorus
Premature in my mind, in my heart
You asked me for the picture and then you tore it apart
I expected this since 1964
But it happened a little premature
I know I am helplessly flawed
I stand in the corner and wait for the applause
And theyre all on my side except those who arent
And I make up for my coldness by imitating art
Chorus
How was I to know? I let myself go
I grew up way too fast and learned the last
I never thought you would take it so bad
I never knew you were like that
Premature, in my mind, in my heart
You told that it was my fault, my fault from the start
And I expected this since 1964 but it happened a little premature
I think I was grown years before I was born
And the cornerstone that replaced my heart is torn
And I need to know the answers to questions yet to be asked
And I am a distraction to those on the straight path
Chorus
Premature in my mind, in my heart
You asked me for the picture and then you tore it apart
I expected this since 1964
But it happened a little premature
I know I am helplessly flawed
I stand in the corner and wait for the applause
And theyre all on my side except those who arent
And I make up for my coldness by imitating art
Chorus
How was I to know? I let myself go
I grew up way too fast and learned the last
I never thought you would take it so bad
I never knew you were like that
Premature, in my mind, in my heart
You told that it was my fault, my fault from the start
And I expected this since 1964 but it happened a little premature
