| School starts up again in about a week |
| Picked up my books from the library |
| Head full with romance and fantasy |
| Could it be me? |
| Caught eyes of one of the older guys |
| Ain't that the dream? Yeah I'm told it's nice |
| It might be love if I play it right |
| And I can think of |
|
| 15 reasons why he |
| Would wanna get to know me |
| But daddy said "There's only one" |
| And it's hard times in times like these |
| I want someone I can please |
| Just let me make believe |
| I'll give him everything |
|
| And I did |
| And he wasn't even grateful |
| Always treated me like a goddamn plateful |
| He's un-phased making me unstable |
| I took off all of my clothes |
| I cried the whole way home |
| Still smiled at my mother |
| What she don't know won't hurt her |
| He showed me love led to damage |
| How can everybody stand it? |
| He brought me to my knees |
| It's hard times in times like these |
|
| I live alone in a haunted house |
| I turned the mirrors all around |
| Can't stand to face what he made me now |
| And what's no longer |
| Turned my wide eyes to bloody tears |
| Missed out on Christmas and family cheer |
| I can't recall my birthday that year |
| But I remember |
|
| 15 ways I said "No" |
| Asked him to let me go |
| I know it's all his fault |
| Why do I feel so wrong? |
| It's hard times in times like these |
| I wake choking on my screams |
| Then I tuck them in the drawer |
|
| He coulda taken more than he did |
| So I outta be grateful |
| Wouldn't ever think about it if I were able |
| He's unscathed while I'm unstable |
| Flipping all these goddamn tables |
| Hopeless cause he'll never know his own betrayals |
|
| I threw up on my way home |
| Left my shoes on his road |
| Still smiled at my mother |
| What she don't know won't hurt her |
| Held my girlhood door |
| He slammed it |
| Took years to understand it |
| Still brings me to my knees |
|
| It's hard times in times like these |
| He's picking fights and locks and forget me nots |
| And I'm counting to ten in a parking lot |
| I left myself in a lost and found box |
| Maybe in the summer I can brush the dust off |
| Ticking slows, am I a ghost? |
| He said "This is how it goes" |
| All I ever wanted was the prove I'm worthy |
| Such a high price for the way he hurt me |
|
| Couldn't ever understand |
| Am I really that pretty when I'm deadpanned? |
| I curse your name when my lovers reach out |
| There's one thing I can't talk about |
| It hurts again, can't call my friends |
|
| They rolled their eyes |
| Said I shoulda known better |
| I can't live like this forever |
| I can't live like this forever |
| Gaslight myself under circumstance |
| "Did I make it all up? Was it really that bad?" |
|
| I can't live like this forever |
| I can't live like this forever |
| I can't live like this forever |
| I can't live like this forever |
| I can't live like this forever |
| I can't live like this forever |
| I can't live like this forever |
| I can't live like this forever |
| I can't live like this forever |
| I can't live like this forever |
| I can't live like this forever |
| I can't live like this forever |
