Watching my innocence rush away
Why can't I brush this away?
Did I do this on purpose?
Did I get what I deserve?
Acting like a scared puppy
Feeling my throat getting lumpy
Did I do this on purpose?
Did you get what you deserve?
I hate it so much
Getting myself in a bunch
Just get it done with
Will I do it?
Internal wounds never heal
Or will they?
Mine don't, sadly
They just hurt badly
You've hurt me
You've all hurt me
Did I do this on purpose?
Did we get what we deserve?
This is the end now
I can't stay now
I will leave with regret
Knowing you don't know
