If I was a kid again
I would tell you to treat her different
I don’t like the way you treated her
I advised her to leave you every day
Told her not to worry about me
I was a child back then
But anyone knew, it was easy to see
The way you were treating her
I felt like you were beating her
But you weren’t even touching her
Your words were power to her
But always powerless to me
You didn’t tell her you loved her
Never brought her flowers
Rare occasions did I see you speak to her
If I was a kid again I would advise you to treat her better
Even though I just wanted you to leave her
So I wouldn’t see her hurt anymore
Over and over I advised her to leave you
But she loved you
She told everyone she was with you because of me
But every night I would tell her she deserved better
And that wasn’t you
I was good, I always knew
She never was and it’s your fault
If I was a kid again I would tell you to treat her better
I now pay for the damage you created
The same way you treated her, she now treats me
Rarely do I see her smile
She says she doesn’t love you but I don’t believe her
If I was a kid again I would tell you to treat her better
And maybe she would be happy and be treating me better
And maybe I wouldn’t hate you
