Four years old
A G D
With my back to the door

All I could hear

Was the family war

Your selfish hands
A G D
Always expecting more

It's been five years
A G D
Since we spoke last
Bm
You can't take back
A G D
What we never had
Bm
Oh I can be manipulated
A G D
Only so many times
Bm
Before even "I love you"

Don't you remember
I'm your baby girl

How could you push me
Out of your world

Light to your flash and your blood

Put your hands on the ones
That you swore you loved

Right out of your world

Now forever afraid of being alone
