Eleven

It was eleven years ago My family gathered round I was the last one to be told That things would be much different now Too young to understand completely Enough to feel this won't be easy I want you to know That I see right through you Tears running down your cheek Don't mean a fucking thing to me I can't imagine that your life was perfect I never even scratched the surface But we were only 10 years old How the fuck was I supposed to know Eleven years now on My family gathers round And I've never felt so strong Things are so much different now Too young to understand completely 21, life's still not easy Crush everything I thought I knew Memories of me and you Rip my heart from my sleeve Sink it deep inside my chest Bury me beneath my skin A stranger to those Who knew me the best
