{they said}

they said don’t let him buy the coffee
when you go on your first date
but i did
they said when you celebrate valentines day
don’t give him a cheesy mixtape
but i did
they said don’t write your name next to his
just to hear how it will sound
but i did
they said don’t let your grandma meet him
until you’re sure he’ll stick around
but i did
they said don’t tell him about your fears
or show him how much you ache
but i did
they said if you want commitment
there’s no way you can make him wait
but i did
they said don’t trust him with the side of you
that no one else has seen
but i did
they said you’ll never find the one
when you’re only seventeen
but i did
they said don’t make any promises
don’t fall too hard too fast
but i did
they said don’t break the rules of love
if you do, it never lasts
but i did
and it did
and we did
