I thought that I loved him. I thought that I knew
That I loved him. Oh, what a fool.
Why didn't I listen when the world told me no?
Why did I want so bad to say "I told you so"?
Was I blind?
After all, it was my first time.
I'm just a little girl, and the world can be so cruel.
It didn't seem to care when it broke my heart in two
And left me crying.
I thought I was dying.
I was so scared, and so alone and sad,
And all I could think of was the love that we had had,
And I didn't want to let go, but I'd already lost.
Still, I had to hold on, no matter what the cost,
And it only cost me my heart.
It only cost me a little part
Of my soul,
But not the whole thing.
And then I learned to hurt, and I learned to fight,
And I learned how to break a boy's heart overnight,
And I tried to hold my ground,
And I tried to hurt everyone around.
And then I learned kindness, and compassion, and to care.
I learned to survive, even when my heart was bare,
And I learned to smile in the face of hate.
I learned when to make my move, and when to wait.
Yes I found love once more
And it was better than before,
And even the sun up above
Couldn't outshine my love.
And that is the journey that everyone must make.
First we must find love, then find that it is fake.
Then we must hurt, and then we must heal,
Then when we find love we will know how it feels
So when we find love, we will know that it's real.
