/Someday, when I'm older
And they never know my name/
She's 12 years old, with dark hair; the color of a girl who's grown up hopeless…
/Somehow, if I'm honest
I can never feel ashamed/
Why doesn't anyone believe her? Why can't he believe her?
/Maybe I was wrong to
Hold you up so high/
He was beautiful. She would never forget. And as She stared at herself in the mirror, she wondered if anyone would ever think that of her too…
/Now I know I've lost you
To the feelings I kept inside/
He could never know, and She knew that well. He could never accept the truth…he was too busy anyway.
/I don't know if it felt like
I wanted you here, the way that I wanted you last time/
He glanced at her. She shuddered with excitement, just one glance…she wanted him, yesterday, tomorrow, right now. Oh, She wanted him, and she cried out silently as desire flowed through her so strong she could taste and smell it. Bitter-sweet; it made her feel like she was on fire, and when he brushed heavily against her in line he didn't notice; but waterfalls of lust flowed between her legs. She fled to the bathroom, her face red with embarrassment. He didn't notice.
/We're not on the same page, you don't even know me
Cause you never took the time/
She told him. She told him how she felt in letters, songs, and tears. She told him in little gasps every time he touched her…he'd just didn't realize. He didn't even know her name, or who she was. So she lived miserably on, wallowing in the oblivion that was her thoughts. Her thoughts and nothing more… And still after her confessions, he never noticed her, never really cared to know her, not even her name.
/Someday, when it's over
And you never show your face/
She knew it would be over soon. He was a senior, She was a freshman, and he would be leaving in a few days…for good.
/I hope you'll remember
How I tried to make you a place/
He hadn't said goodbye. He saw her, his seductive gaze landed on her, but it was not meant for her…it never was. Will he remember her? Will he remember how she smiled at him and bid " Good Morning?" to only him? Would he remember how she gasped every time he touched her? Did he even remember those things now, while he's here? No, he knew nothing of the things She tried to do for him. She had tried to make him a place, a place comfortably in her heart forever, but he hadn't time for her.
/And so now, I move on
To keep my piece of mind/
He was goneHe was gone, and so was she. The sun rose, and the sky went a brilliant mix of colors, blue, green, and yellow, pink, purple. She wished with all her heart that she could share this with Him. But she couldn't, and He didn't want to. She decided to go to bed, the slightly comforting thought that He was seeing the same sight she was, they were under the same sky. Or were they really?
/In someway, I've failed you
But I just ran out of time/
In the time it took her to finally confess, He was nearly leaving. He hadn't time, she wasted time, Time certainly didn't like her…
/I don't know if it felt like
I wanted you here, the way that I wanted you last time
We're not on the same page, you don't even know me
Cause you never took the time/
/I'm not sure that you hear me/
He never really listened…never really took the time, it wasn't her fault, you can't help who you love.
/I'm not sure that you look at me the same/
/I will always be attached to you
But I'm never gonna feel the same/
/I don't know if it felt like
I wanted you here, the way that I wanted you last time
We're not on the same page, you don't even know me
Cause you never took the time/
/No, you never took the time/
/Someday, when I'm older.../
