Adults You Are, Adults You Were

Remember me?

Remember then?

That's when you lost me

Way back then.

You used my innocence 

To play your games

To spite each other 

Pulled in separate ways

Adults you are, adults you were

A boy I was - I didn't deserve

To be your point scoring thing

It never occurred to you or him

That your boy could hurt

That your boy could feel

You broke your little boy's heart

It never healed.
