Well I look both ways when I cross the street To make sure that you haven't found me But if you showed up I think I'd smash your teeth For the effort you went to, to find me The shame I felt from the pain you caused You promised you were my friend You pulled me in with the tips of your claws To play this game of pretend And I don't want to live in fear But it's the way, it's the way, it's the way If my words were valued like you said Then how did you get into my head I'm just child, no I'm not done Growing with the voices hiding in my ear drums You called me saying, "it's all your fault That I've got blood on my wrists You don't look your age just don't tell no one What I wish I could do to your lips" You took my love as a thing to exploit You asked me if I would still fuck you I shut down after I had cried And to think that I ever missed you And I don't want to live in fear But it's the way, it's the way, it's the way If my words were valued like you said Then how did you get into my head I'm just child, no I'm not done Growing with the voices hiding in my ear drums
