Tripping

On memories

Hey little girl

Come back to me

I see you

Crying in the bathroom

In the corner

You want out  you say

You want to be better

I want to help you

I want to show you the way out

To feed you to give you a bed

Anything to show you

It dosent have to be that way

You were raped

So as I

Your were abandon

So was I

Your parents slammed the door on you

I was the same way

You were beaten by your boyfriend

Who you were feeding

Trying to help

He is just using you

He will leave when he is through

Love wont make you sell your self

I see you there and you

Break my heart

I will never rise above

Any of this

Or above you

We are the same me and you just s different time

I wore your shoes

So little girl

I trip on memories

Seeing you

Seeing you fall apart

Rips out my heart

I feel your pain

Cause I have been there

They say you’ll never make it out alive

They lie

Lie

Lie

You can get out

Just let go

Believe in yourself

Have faith in something more

Don’t forget to dream

Little girl

Don’t forget to dream

Cause you can get out

I remember being you

Feeling I was only good to be used

Or beat

Or taken for a ride

Felt I didn’t deserve anything

But abuse

I remember

Baby

I was just like you

Just wearing your high heel shoes

Didn’t think I could do anything more

Then be a silly pretty girl

Who people used

Then threw

Away

Disposable

Love

Disposable

Girl

But baby

Your worth more
