What's it been, over a decade? It still smarts like it was four minutes ago We only influenced each other totally We only bruised each other even more so What are you, my blood? You touch me like you are my blood What are you, my dad? You affect me like you are my dad And how long can a girl be shackled to you? And how long before my dignity is reclaimed? How long can a girl stay haunted by you? Soon I'll grow up and I won't even flinch at your name Soon I'll grow up and I won't even flinch at your name Where've you been? I heard you moved to my city My brother saw you somewhere downtown I'd be paralyzed if I ran into you My tongue would seize up if we were to meet again What are you, my god? You touch me like you are my god What are you my twin? You affect me like you are my twin
What's it been, over a decade?
It still smarts like it was four minutes ago
We only influenced each other totally
We only bruised each other even more so
What are you, my blood?
You touch me like you are my blood
What are you, my dad?
You affect me like you are my dad
And how long can a girl be shackled to you?
And how long before my dignity is reclaimed?
How long can a girl stay haunted by you?
Soon I'll grow up and I won't even flinch at your name
Where've you been?
I heard you moved to my city
My brother saw you somewhere downtown
I'd be paralyzed if I ran into you
My tongue would seize up if we were to meet again
What are you, my god?
You touch me like you are my god
What are you my twin?
You affect me like you are my twin
And how long can a girl be tortured by you? And how long before my dignity is reclaimed? How long can a girl be haunted stay you? Soon I'll grow up and I won't even flinch at your name Soon I'll grow up and I won't even flinch at your name So here I am one room away From where I know you're standing A well-intentioned man told me you just walked in This man knows not of how This information has affected me But he knows the colour of the car I just drove away in What are you, my kin? You touch me like you are my kin What are you, my air? You affect me like you are my air And how long can a girl be tortured by you? And how long before my dignity is reclaimed? How long can a girl be haunted by you? Soon I'll grow up and I won't even flinch at your name Soon I'll grow up and I won't even flinch at your name
And how long can a girl be tortured by you?
How long can a girl be haunted stay you?
So here I am one room away
From where I know you're standing
A well-intentioned man told me you just walked in
This man knows not of how
This information has affected me
But he knows the colour of the car
I just drove away in
What are you, my kin?
You touch me like you are my kin
What are you, my air?
You affect me like you are my air
How long can a girl be haunted by you?
