Too Young To Understand

from Things We Should've Said by Abi Moore

/

lyrics

Would you believe in you and me?
And everything I’d do for you?
Would you know, without being told,
Just what I would go through for you?
What difference would it make?
What would it really change
If I ever got it through to you?
I don’t know without being told
Just how much I can tell you

Every time I try, I’m wondering why
But I think I love you
On my own advice, I realise
You’re not ready for my love

But who am I to say? What am I but a child?
I’ve got so much left to learn, my opinions won’t be heard
I’m too young to understand

The truth, you learn, takes time to burn
But I’ve learned so much, so fast
Never expected you to accept it
I know it’s way beyond your grasp
I want to show all I know
And how much I have grown (for you)
But do I teach you or shall I leave you
To learn it on your own?

Can you understand the Promised Land
Lies beneath these grains of sand?
And if we strive, we’ll arrive
Come, I’ll take you by the hand

But who am I to say? What am I but a child?
I’ve got so much left to learn
My opinions won’t be heard
I’m too young to understand

Every time I try, I’m wondering why
But I think I love you
On my own advice, I realise
You’re not ready for me

Can you understand the Promised Land
Lies beneath these grains of sand?
And if we strive, we’ll arrive
Come, I’ll take you by the hand

But who am I to say? What am I but a child?
I’ve got so much left to learn
My opinions won’t be heard
I’m too young to understand

Abi Moore UK

Americana / Roots-Rock artist from Nottingham. Abi's 4th studio album No More Chasing marks a raucous return after 10 years.

"Impactful, gritty, & above all, brimming with conviction. Abi's stripped back, stomp 'n' holler sound instantly took us to KT Tunstall, while her rootsy, distorted Americana guitar twangs have a delicious White Stripes flavour." RCM
