I was never like her

I laugh as I am knocked down

Turned your face like I always did

When I was taking my time

I knew where I was born

I knew where I was blamed by the world

Where have you been?

You were with your wishes

What could have been

If a wish was kisses

One night I walked into a situation

That I could have avoided

But it turned into something

My babe noticed ain't right

It was something like a window

And I wanted to break free

You showed me a false halo

There will be no walking back

I walk away, my head turned

I wanted to break

Something like an innocent child

Walking by fire

Not another bullet in vain
