I didn’t even know you
When you began spreading lies.
I didn’t even know your name
When you decided to tarnish mine.
While you forgot about me,
I saw your face everywhere I went.
While you lived your life,
I lived in flashbacks.
I was just a little girl
When you broke my world.
I was just a small child
When you took away my wild.
What were you wearing?
Were you drinking?
Why were you there?
What were you thinking?
