She said she couldn't stay too late |
[00:26.60] |
She gotta be home by ten, she had school the next day |
[00:29.35] |
She wasn't the type to play |
[00:30.89] |
She ain't like them other chicks |
[00:32.00] |
She ain't known for getting drunk, popping pills, or sucking dick |
[00:35.05] |
More like the type to show up to class |
[00:37.24] |
An hour early, never wearing shorts that's showing her ass |
[00:39.89] |
Got to hold on her past, can't let go of it |
[00:42.79] |
She don't really smile, but nobody ever notices |
[00:45.52] |
Grade A student, all her teachers love her |
[00:48.16] |

[00:50.70] |
But she's stuck in county jail for eighteen months |
[00:53.55] |
So its just her and pops and everyday he's drunk |
[00:56.24] |
They hardly talk, so when she gets to the house |
[00:58.52] |
She goes straight to her room and she shuts the lights out |
[01:01.36] |
Hoping the next day comes sooner than later |
[01:03.86] |
She can't wait to move out, four-hundred dollars saved up |
[01:07.06] |
She knows she got a long way to go |
[01:09.19] |
But she keeps her head so high, you'd probably never know |
[01:12.09] |
What she had to go through for so long |
[01:14.47] |
Yo, but she never forgets to hold on |
[01:16.35] |
Hook |
[01:16.86] |
She said, "If you knew my secret, I wonder what you'd say |
[01:20.06] |
I wonder if you'd leave and I wonder if you'd stay |
[01:22.85] |
I wonder if you'd see me in a different way |
[01:25.34] |
Its hard to hold this in, I think about it everyday" |
[01:28.64] |
Yeah, I wonder what you'd say |
[01:33.97] |
I wonder if you'd see me in a different way |

Verse 2 |
[01:38.74] |
She met a kid named Joey, knew he had a crush |
[01:41.49] |
Always made her laugh and said things to make her blush |
[01:43.92] |
But she tried so hard to pay him no attention |
[01:46.62] |
Scared her past would eventually ruin the friendship |
[01:49.61] |
Cause its so hard for her to open her feelings |
[01:51.55] |
He said, "If you don't give me your heart beautiful |
[01:53.76] |
I'mma steal it" |
[01:54.26] |
So twelve months passed and ever since he said that |
[01:57.36] |
She been in love, but everybody has their setbacks |
[02:00.20] |
Slowly, but surely he was fading away |
[02:02.39] |
While she was falling deeper for him and she waited for days |
[02:05.08] |
For him to call her like he always did, but five days went by and |
[02:08.28] |
If you listen closely you can hear her still crying |
[02:11.22] |
She wrote on paper saying, "I'm sorry" |
[02:13.46] |
I just wish you knew you're the reason that my heart beats |
[02:16.20] |
Always made me smile ever since the day you saw me |
[02:18.59] |
You were my guardian angel when I had nobody |
[02:21.43] |
Yo, but there's something I haven't told you |
[02:23.66] |
For six years there was something that I had to go through |
[02:26.36] |
That shattered my spirit and my dreams, I know you can see it |
[02:29.05] |
My father did these things to me and no one believed it |
[02:32.04] |
My mom was never there to see, I hope when she reads this |
[02:34.58] |
She ODs on the very thing that broke us to pieces |
[02:37.46] |
You were the only person I ever loved |
[02:39.85] |
And it kills me inside to know that I was the one |
[02:42.59] |
To ruin what we had and I knew this would happen |
[02:44.93] |
Yo, I just thought me and you would've lasted |
[02:47.97] |
Knife to her wrist as she dropped to the floor |
[02:50.56] |
But right be before she cut she heard a knock at the door |
[02:53.41] |
