I started running at 5 years old
And I didn't look back
Until I found myself at 24
Still feeling that
I had my innocence stolen
And I was the only one doing time
So I made peace with the fact
It'll always live in my mind
So who pays for something so priceless?
Hoping by now it would hurt less
If I'm being honest
I swear I've tried to forgive
But I just can't
Can't ever forget
26 and alone
In that third floor apartment
I was damaged but hopeful
I'd find what I've wanted
Took a chance and her hand
And I learned to trust again
How far removed I've become from
That broken child within
So who pays for something so priceless?
Hoping by now it would hurt less
If I'm being honest
I swear I've tried to forgive
But I just can't
Can't ever forget
I can't ever forget
I look around
And another year has passed
Orange leaves fall slowly
Few things last
But i'm better off
From where I started
So who pays for something so priceless?
Hoping by now it would hurt less
If I'm being honest
I swear I've tried to forgive
But I just can't
Can't ever forget
