I saw her at the playground standing at the jungle gym
Across from a cute boy, I wished I could talk to him
I started to head over but as I reached for the bars,
She slapped my hand away, said “Who the hell’d you think you are?”
I stumbled back slowly too afraid to even cry
I wanted to run away, crawl to my bed and hide
And ever since that moment, ever since that day
She’s always been in front of me, always getting in my way
She chokes my aspirations and cuts down all my dreams
She’s like some kind of hex, a curse that follows me
“Best Friends Forever” that’s what we said we’d be
Then her mama told her not to associate with me
“That girl, she plays too rough, this really has to end”
Stupid says “you’ll always be lonely and never have real friends”
I know I shouldn’t listen, trust much less believe
Her words cut like knives, why is this chick after me?
And ever since that moment, ever since that day
She’s always been in front of me, always getting in my way
She chokes my aspirations and cuts down all my dreams
She’s like some kind of hex, a curse that follows me
Its time to call her out, Time she let me be
A life full of regret is life left empty
I entered the room slowly, preparing for the worst
Gathering up my courage, remembering all the hurt
Switching on the light, though no battle to see
As I stared in the mirror at the stupid side of me
