I thought I knew better than what I was told
My high school teachers warned me about you
I didn’t need to go to catholic school to know
The limit of what a good girl should do

They told me not to trust the wolf in sheep’s clothes
I thought I could trust my best friend
I wish I had learned earlier that the ones you trust the most
Are the ones who can hurt again and again

I didn’t ask you to offer me your hand
I didn’t want you to pat my head
You should’ve kept your feelings to yourself
When I tried to pretend I could forget

I didn’t need you to offer me your love
I didn’t want your touch, I said
No and as much as I pretend
Now I only wish I could forget

I wonder why it never crossed your mind
That you should’ve stopped a while ago
Did I let you win and let you in too many times
Don’t make it my fault that I didn’t go

I don’t like feeling nightmares on my skin
I hate waking up but you scare me in my dreams
I really wish that I had said no louder
I wish I could erase your very being

I didn’t ask you to offer me your hand
I didn’t want you to pat my head
You should’ve kept your filthy thoughts to yourself
When I tried to pretend I could forget

I didn’t ask of you to offer me your stuff
I didn’t want your touch, I said
No and as much as I pretend
I think I’m never going to forget

Even my ex compares himself to you
At least I never force you like he did
How could you wonder why I stopped
God, how I wish I could forget

I didn’t need you to offer me your hand
I didn’t want you to pat my head
You should’ve kept your feelings to yourself
When I tried to pretend I could forget

I didn’t need you to offer me your love
I didn’t want your touch, I said
No and as much as I pretend
Now I only wish I could forget

I didn’t ask you to offer me your hand
I didn’t want you to pat my head
You should’ve kept your filthy thoughts to yourself
When I tried to pretend I could forget

I didn’t ask of you to offer me your stuff
I didn’t want your touch, I said
No and as much as I pretend
I think I’m never going to forget

God, how I wish I could forget
