You were so demanding. 

I was too naive to know better. 

I wanted to talk about it, but

what was there to say?

I was too naive to know better. 

I am not sure if I know any better now. 

What was there to say?

You have always reminded me of him. 

I am not sure if I know any better now. 

I know you, but not myself. 

You have always reminded me of him. 

I hope the memories fade soon. 

All these years later, it still lives in me. 

Does it ever cross your mind?

I hope the memories fade soon. 

I’ll sever the cycle to get rid of you. 

Does it ever cross your mind?

I pray it eats at you the same way. 

I’ll sever the cycle to get rid of you,

and let the gash be another reminder.
