When  I was young I knew everything
 And she  a punk who rarely  ever took  advice
 Now I'm guilt  stricken sobbing with my head  on the floor
Stop  a baby's breath and  a shoe  full of rice, no
 I can't  be held responsible
 'Cause she  was touching her face
 I won't  be held responsible
 She fell in love  in the first place
For  the life of me,  I cannot remember
 What made us think that we  were wise  and we'd never compromise
 For the life of me, I  cannot believe
 We'd ever  die for these sins we  were merely freshmen
 My best friend  took a week's vacation  to forget her
 His girl  took a week's worth  of valium  and slept
 And now he's guilt  stricken sobbing with his head  on the floor
 Thinks  about her now and how  he never  really wept, he says...
 I can't  be held responsible
 'Cause she  was touching her face
 I won't  be held responsible
 She fell in love  in the first place
For  the life of me,  I cannot remember
 What made us think that we  were wise  and we'd never compromise
 For the life of me, I  cannot believe
 We'd ever  die for these sins we  were merely freshmen
 We've tried to wash our hands of all  of this
 We never talk  of our lacking relationships
 And how we're guilt  stricken sobbing with our heads  on the floor
 We fell  through the ice, when  we tried  not to slip, we'd say it...
 I can't  be held responsible
 'Cause she  was touching her face
 I won't  be held responsible
 She fell in love  in the first place
For  the life of me,  I cannot remember
 What made us think that we  were wise  and we'd never compromise
 For the life of me, I  cannot believe
 We'd ever  die for these sins we  were merely freshmen
For  the life of me,  I cannot remember
 What made us think that we  were wise  and we'd never compromise
 For the life of me, I  cannot believe
 We'd ever  die for these sins we  were merely freshmen
 We  were merely freshmen
 We  were merely freshmen
 (you can end on )
