we were it and that was all
everyone knew, and everyone saw

foolish, young, and gullible was I
I said I loved you, I could not lie

looking back at every day
we were independent, no one else had a say

lust had came, and with that it left
my innocence was taken, for you were the theft

looking at you then was such a mystery
now I can read you, so that's all history

I do fully regret most of it all
but the one thing I'd just change is how willing I was to fall

down to my knees and to bow at your presence
I was foolish I say, I have learned my lesson

done with you, but also us
you mean nothing to me, you were no diamond in the rough

but you were the force which kept pushing me further
down a dark path, but yet that's where I found her

an angel who guided me into the light
I was saved, you lost the fight

sometimes I ponder if we were never
if that occurred I would not be so clever

so the tricks and lies you have passed down to me
I owe you no gratitude, and that now I see

without you I'm fine and I stand on my own
my wings have grown back and from your trap I have flown
