Let me tell you a story

Let me tell you a story...

Of an empty girl,

Haunted by a past she try not remember.

Of a quiet girl,

Hushed by ignoring ears of those around her. 

Of an angry girl,

In situations because of her mother. 

Let me tell you a story...

Of the first wrong glance,

Playing outback as he hid at the window.

Of the first wrong words, 

Always being told "you look so much like her."

Of the first wrong touch,

Getting tucked into bed without PJ's on. 

Let me tell you a story... 

Of her feeling small,

When no one listened to her speaking the truth. 

Of her moving on,

Because it was the only thing she could do. 

Of her all grown up,

Forced to forget more of her dwindling past.
