Wept
when she cried
i looked away
i didn't want to see
I wasn't really old enough to see
but then i did
i had to know
oh
oh, what they did to her
i hope she doesn't remember
oh
it hurts my heart
it hurts to remember
remember that I didn't
I just didn't
sweet girl, too much
too much for you to drink
I can't get over you
in that bedroom
in that bed
over and over
one after the other
and you just slept
I wept
and I am still sorry
