He was supposed to be someone other than who he was.
I was supposed to be safe with you;
You were supposed to protect me.
I have always tried my best to love
You, but you were not who I needed.

I was supposed to be safe with you;
You were supposed to protect me.
You took advantage of my young soul
And called it "love", but it was not.

I wish it were different;
I wish we could go back.
Done is done;
That is that.
Too late,
We can't go back.
