Too Young To Love

{intimate

acoustic guitar

intro} (hummmmm) {warm room reverb}

You looked at me like you wanted to stay,

But something in your eyes kept pulling away.

You held my hand,

then let it go,

Like loving me was something you couldn’t hold.

{gentle cello enters} You never said I wasn’t enough,

Just that life had made your heart too tough.

{subtle pedal steel swell} {rising

emotional

tension}

You said I was too young

for your kind of love,

Like I hadn’t bled,

like I hadn’t lost enough.

You told me someday I’d understand,

But all I wanted was your hand.

If love has an age,

then maybe it’s true,

But my heart didn’t know that when it fell for you.

{fuller acoustic band texture} {soaring vocals} Now every song hits a little

too hard,

Every quiet night leaves another scar.

I’ve tried moving on,

I’ve tried letting go,

But missing you’s the only thing I seem to know.

{band drops back to fingerpicking and cello} Maybe in another life,

another year,

You wouldn’t have let your doubts win over fear.

Maybe we’d be laughing instead of saying goodbye,

Instead of wondering what would’ve happened if we’d tried.

{escalating build} {swelling string section} You said I was too young for

your kind of love,

But I loved you

with everything I was made of.

You walked away believing time was right,

I walked away

learning love doesn’t always fight.

Maybe someday

we’ll both look back and see… It wasn’t that I was too

young. It was just the wrong time for you and me.

{final emotional peak into fade to guitar solo} {acoustic guitar outro} {solo

fingerpicking fades to quiet} (ahhhh) {cold end}
