song lyrics

Back in days of old,
A naive child at age ten,
Infatuated by your charms.
Reluctance lingered still:
I was just a lonely no one;
Would you offer open arms?

Chorus
Grotty misconception;
I thought you were something special.
Why do you hate me for
Seeking you so very long ago?
Grotty misconception;
I thought you were worth my trouble.
Little did I know what
Grudge you'd harbor farther down the road.

Somehow word got out,
But you didn't shy away,
And it seemed I had a chance.
But you chose to sever
Our lines of communication;
I guess such is circumstance

Chorus

We both followed different pathways:
Different walks down different streets.
I was yet to witness your most
Piercing blow, and it was quite a feat.

You disowned me as a friend.
Paranoia overtook you,
And you went in for the kill
You erased my name, and
I was stricken from your record;
Have you finally had your fill?

Chorus

Grotty misconception;
I thought you were something special.
I just wish I knew why
You prefer to live life in the past.
Grotty misconception;
I thought you were worth my trouble.
Do you really think a
Crush I had so long ago could last?
