lyrics

I’ve got so many questions
Where are all the answers

Oh I’ve been looking for someone
Who with a few simple words could take this pain away

‘Cause he was the one I trusted with all my childhood secrets
And sometimes he seemed to know me better than I knew myself

But it was all a facade so he could use me
For a purpose I never knew he needed to have fulfilled

And I know now
The only place I’ll find peace is in my own heart

But it’s so hard
When I’m asking

Why did he think it was ok to take a part of me that wasn’t his to take

And why was I prepared to take our little secret to the grave

Why didn’t I see right through him why didn’t I have a clue

Sometimes I watch the girl I used to be
Like she’s on a movie screen

The things he did were so wrong
But it’s so surreal ‘cause that girl wasn’t me

But every once in a while I’m that girl again
I feel the hurt the sting of betrayal

And I’m so scared ‘cause I don’t know what he’ll do next
And I cry

Why did he think it was ok to take a part of me that wasn’t his to take

And why was I prepared to take our little secret to the grave

Why didn’t I see right through him why didn’t I have a clue

And why didn’t I love myself enough
To let it all go

And why did I allow his actions to take control
Of four years of my life

And why did I condemn myself to silence
Until he hurt another
