Fourteen

(album: M - 2020)

Josephine, don't be mean
I wasn't tryna—
Josephine, don't be mean
I wasn't tryna—

You will bear the scars of this dark time forever
You will hear that survival is some glorious endeavor

But you're fourteen (yeah, you're fourteen)
And they're so mean (yeah, they're so mean)

But I don't think it's your fault, oh, baby
But I don't think it's your fault, oh-oh-oh

When they say they won't help you through it
It's just because they can't
When they're tryna hurt you, baby
Well, that's because they can

Yeah, you're fourteen (yeah, you're fourteen)
And they're so mean (yeah, they're so mean)

But I don't think it's your fault, oh, baby
But I don't think it's your fault, oh-oh-oh

Josephine, don't be mean
I wasn't tryna let you down
(Josephine, don't be mean
I wasn't tryna let you down)
Josephine, don't be mean
I wasn't tryna let you down
(Josephine, don't be mean
I wasn't tryna let you down)
Josephine, don't be mean
I wasn't tryna let you down
(Josephine, don't be mean
I wasn't tryna let you down
I wasn't trying to let you down)

Little girl, you wanna know
Someone you look up to?
Be careful what you wish for
You might end up burying me
Little girl, you wanna know
Someone you look up to?
(Josephine, don't be mean)
Be careful what you wish for
You might end up burying me

Little girl, you wanna know
Someone you look up to?
(Josephine, don't be mean)
Be careful what you wish for
You might end up burying me
(Josephine, don't be mean
I wasn't trying to let you down)
Little girl, you wanna know
Someone you look up to?
(Josephine, don't be mean)
Be careful what you wish for
You might end up burying me
(Josephine, don't be mean
I wasn't trying to let you down)

Little girl, you wanna know
Someone you look up to?
(Josephine, don't be mean)
Be careful what you wish for
You might end up burying me
