Those words you said
Made me wish I were dead
Your voice escalating
Knocked me out of being
You see, it started one day
While I was mindlessly on my way
You turned your head, cast me a glance
Nothing I could do but fall into a trance.
Days turned to weeks, weeks to years
And once in a while, you caught me unawares
A look, a touch, a smile
I should have known it’d be gone in a while
And then you told me you loved me
I was so blinded I could no longer see
That there was a girl behind you
A lover of yours, too.
Those words you said
Made me wish I were dead
Your voice escalating
Knocked me out of being
The pain ripped through my chest
The night you chose who you loved best
I was left in the dark, in the cold
I could never again be that bold.
Nothing had prepared me for this day
When I would be forced to extensively pay
Heart, breath, soul, shredded
All I had want was to be loved
Those words you said
Made me wish I were dead
Your voice escalating
Knocked me out of being
Yet today’s the day I strike back
No longer standing alone, I shall attack
Backed by every girl’s heart you tore
You’ll be sorry, I'm sure
My heart has mended, totally healed
No once again shall my mind be wheeled
By one stupid boy
You see, I’ll make my own joy
Those words you said
Made me wish I were dead
Your voice escalating
Knocked me out of being
But they no longer will
I’m not another girl looking for a cheap thrill
I’ve been through it all
And be sure, I will never fall.
