You were a mistake
The words echoed in the auditorium around her, haunting her
She said to me on that day
You weren't supposed to happen
You should have just gone away
She thought of her mother saying these words to her, and how she couldn't bring herself to hate her, just feel regret for her
I messed up big time
But I like to thing I've grown
That it happened in another life
Anyones but my own
Her voice swelled at the chorus filled with so many emotions. Self-hatred as she put herself in her mothers shoes. She couldn't imagine how it must feel to not be able to love your own child. Then she felt sorrow and just an extreme desperation for an understanding from anyone who would listen.
I couldv'e gone farther than this
I couldv'e been greater than what I am now
I had dreams and I had hopes
But I was hangin on to a tethered rope
A big imagination will take you far
Give you dreams of becoming a star
That is until you wake up
A good little Christian girl who got herself knocked-up
Talk of the town
What a scandolous thing
Preachers daughter had a one night fling
With the bad boy that made her lose her wings
I couldv'e gone farther than this
I couldv'e been greater than what I am now
I had dreams and I had hopes
But I was hangin on to a tethered rope
She felt the tears collect in her eyes, remembering her own experience with this.
After this confession I went numb
Just a small child young and dumb
And there she sat my mother aged beyond her years
Was now shedding held back tears
A scarlet letter that could never be resealed
She couldv'e gone farther than this
She couldv'e been greater than what I am now
She had dreams and she had hopes
But she had a child to raise all on her own
Quinn heard the cheers, but she couldn't focus. But it didn't matter because almost immediately the second song began playing.
