How interesting now that I realize
The truth behind my deepest despise

Of this girl, this young girl
Who invaded my home
And shattered my dreams
All those years ago

Oh the anger and the rage
When their secret was discovered
The father of my unborn baby
Had taken her as his lover.

All of the tears that I cried
Never did me any good
And even though he begged for forgiveness
And we swept it underfoot

I still thought of her often
And all these years later
She still arrives in the picture
And gives me so much anger

But the more I stop to think
The more that I see
This poor girl that I hate
Is so much like me..

I was once in her place
And I can read her pain
All of the loneliness that she feels
I can see on her face

As she tries to hide her real feelings
With a beautiful smile
She doesn't really mean harm
She just hadn't felt love in a while..

I forgive this poor girl
Even though she did not ask
Because one day I know how hard it will be
For her to face to girl under the mask.
