six Lyrics

You live six hours away

And it was six months to the day

And when I was six years old I thought men were like Prince Charming

I believed them when they said they'd stay

And I guess you had me fooled

I followed all your rules

I would never step a toe out of line

Just like in grade school

And why did it have to be such a betrayal to me

I guess my body wasn't enough to keep you

Between the sheets

You had to find someone to keep your interest peaked

It was just lies 'til you'd leave

But it was real to me

I remember being sixteen

And how they looked right through me

And you were twice my age

And maturity was exciting

You drove me in your car

Stood over me in the dark

If you were still my age you'd say

You'd take me to the prom

And I was much too young to think about your goals

I was flattered by your drawings of me in sexy clothes

You had to find someone naïve to keep you at your peak

And you probably forgot by now

But it was real to me

And for you I'll say your name out loud

Did you tell all your friends about how you pushed yourself in me?

And you love to talk about how you work for Disney

But I remember the high school boy who held my wrists down easily

I see that it makes sense to believe that they don't have feelings I

Understand that lurch of fear when you cross to the other side of the street

And I wish someone would save me now

I wish for Prince Charming

But I can't find that six year old who

Still believed in those things
