He must have been 18 Songtext / Lyric

I think he must have been 18
He was as fragile as a dream
Strong as a man
Seeing the summer in his eyes
I left my autumns as it flies
Like grey of silence

I added make-up to my face
As if to color some disgrace
I saw him smiling
Rainbows and colors of the spring
I would have given anything
To win his loving

I think he must have been 18
A movie star or any screen
It makes him careless
He never said a word of love
He thought that's speaking about love
Was only worthless

And then as if a lie were new
He simply whispered I want you
Let's stay together
We drifted slowly through the night
I never knew a love more right
Not since not ever

I think he must have been 18
It makes him vain and almost mean
He's looking abusing
Without a word he slowly dressed
Leaving me to my lonelyness
My share of losing

I could have try to make him mine
I let him go without a sign
My fake was liying
He said:"I am not the kind you thought"
Love is for grown-ups after all
I felt like criying

I added make-up to my face
As if to color some disgrace
I saw him smiling

I had forgotten in a dream
That I was almost twice eighteen
