But it’s over now It should have never even began It was so long ago Yet it feels like it was yesterday Others have had it worse And others have had it better They didn’t mean it like that What other way could they have meant it? This will destroy my family It has already destroyed you They already walk on eggshells around me The eggs that they broke in the first place I was too much, You were sick I was weak You were a child. But they’re my parents, how could I not forgive them? But you’re their kid, how could they do something unforgivable? No one stopped it No one knew Who could I have gone to? Those you have loved They never even knew me Because you never even let them But it’s over now
