And you taught me not to give my heart away.

You taught me not to trust strong arms and tall bodies.
You taught me that strong arms can wrap around my neck, just as easily as they can wrap around my waist.
You taught me that tall bodies are good to hold, but can hold you back, just as forcefully as they can hold you down.
I learned that you can't trust strong arms and tall bodies.
I learned that you shouldn't fall for sweet words and the perfect smile

And I learned not to give my heart to fallen angels because they'll put it through hell.

I'll lay my head down
and try to forget about you
and all the memories we share
because you would rather be strangers
than pretend to love me anymore.

Little girl tears
and little girl fears
coming to life
over the years

You lived in my closet
and under my bed
but now I find you
living in my head

Nightmares come
in many forms
mine appear
as crashing storms

Awaiting the day
when I'll be set free
But ******* a monster
when the monster is me
