I was a girl, you was a man I was too young to understand I was naive, I just believed Everything that you told me
Said you were strong, protecting me Then I found out that you were weak Keeping me there under your thumb Cause you were scared that I'd become much

Wakin' up scared some nights Still dreamin' 'bout the violent times Still a little protective 'bout the people That I let inside Still a little defensive Thinkin' folks be tryin' to run my life Still a little depressed Inside I fake a smile and deal with the
