When I was younger I believed
All the best in the world of you
But now that I'm gone I'll never be relieved
Of your shadows lingering behind me
All along I was something to be ignored
So you'll never see my battle scars
My innocence never was adored
So now my tears are all that I'll bleed
Mamma forget I was ever beside you
Your house will never again be my home
When I was younger I hoped
All along you'd come to save me
But those dreams were burned and smoked
Just drink away the last of your sanity
I know back then you couldn't stay
But did that mean you had to leave me?
On my fingers I could count the ways
That maybe I could have been saved
Daddy remember you never were beside me
Your house never was or will be my home
Take a good look into these green eyes
That you can never fully understand
I'm now someone you'll never recognize
But it's me having trouble letting go
