I was just a kid 

You should've known better 

Than to lean on me 

Your weakness was unbearable 

And my strength was not enough 

How much can a little girl take 

I needed you to take care of me 

But instead I had to help you 

I love you, but at the same time hate 

For all the things you put me through 

Now I'm a grown up woman 

Who can't trust anyone 

With no shoulder to support me 

All alone just like you.
