Arrogant Me

You're new, you're new, you're too new for me
Questions due to curiosity
Stop it, stop it, stop it now
Ask someone who wants to teach you how
Please, please, please leave me alone
Your innocence is too easily shown

"My fears come to me in threes"
And you're still unable to see
Of what, and whom, to where I have gone
Go your way while I'm turned to the sun
This selfish perception has taken over
Sorry to say that you don't have my shoulder
