You taught me precious secrets
Of the true without nothing


She said she couldn't stay too late
She gotta be home by 10 she had school the next day
She wasn't the type to play

She ain't like them other chicks
She ain't known for gettin drunk, poppin pills or suckin dick


More like the type to show up to class
An hour early never wearin shorts that's showin her $$#
Got a hold on her past

She can't let go of it
She don't really smile but nobody ever notices


Grade A student
All her teachers love her
She just wished she felt the same love from her mother

But she's stuck in county jail for 18 months
So it's just her and pops n every day he's drunk


They hardly talk so when she gets to the house
She goes straight to her room and she shuts the lights out
Hoping the next day comes sooner than later

She can't wait to move out
400 dollars saved up


She knows she got a long way to go
But she keeps her head so high you'd prolly never know
What she had to go through for so long

But she never forgets to hold on

She said

"If you knew my secret I wonder what you'd say
I wonder if you'd leave and I wonder if you'd stay
I wonder if you'd see me in a different way

It's hard to hold this in
I think about it every day"


I wonder what you'd say
I wonder if you'd see me in a different way
I think about it every day


She met a kid named Joey, knew he had a crush
Always made her laugh n said things to make her blush

But
She tried so hard to pay him no attention
Scared her past would eeventually ruin the friendship


Cause it's so hard for her to open her feelings
He said if you don't give me your heart beautiful I'mma steal it

So 12 months passed and ever since he said that
She been in love
But everybody has their setbacks


Slowly but surely he was fading away
While she was falling deeper for him and she waited for days

For him to call her like he always did
But 5 days went by and
If you listen closely you can hear her still cryin


She wrote on paper sayin I'm sorry
I just wish you knew you're the reason that my heart beats

Always made smile ever since the day you saw me
You were my guardian angel when I had nobody


But there's something that I haven't told you
For 6 years there was something that I had to go through
That shattered my spirit and my dreams

I know you can see it
My father did these things to me and no one believed it


My mom was never there to see
I hope when she reads this
She ODs on the very thing that broke us to pieces


You were the only person I ever loved
And it kills me inside to know that I was the one
To ruin what we had and I knew this would happen
I just thought me and you woulda lasted


Knife to her wrist
As she dropped to the floor
But right before she cut
She heard a knock on her door


She said
"If you knew my secret I wonder what you'd say
I wonder if you'd leave and I wonder if you'd stay
I wonder if you'd see me in a different way

It's hard to hold this in
I think about it every day"

I wonder what you'd say
I wonder if you'd see me in a different way

I think about it every day
