You tell yourself you could've prevented it You say, "If I just wouldn't have gone out that night If I just wouldn't have taken that last shot If I just wouldn't have worn that black shirt that made my ***** look bigger If I just wouldn't have looked at him If I just wouldn't have danced that dance If I just wouldn't have followed him" Yet somehow, You were around other men who kept themselves away and respected your home One boy came and recked it But, You blame yourself for something a boy did How is it that everyone else was able to respect you, yet he wasn't Yet somehow, it was your fault?
