Dear... Lyrics - Cause And Effect - Maria Mena

I'll always treasure the naivety 

Of the past we've shared 

Our bodies grew much faster than our minds 

But together we got good at stopping time 

My teen angst drove me to hurt myself 

And I made you watch 

Oh the pain I must have caused 

But by staying around you saved my life (saved my life) 

We were never meant to be lovers 

Just fellow late bloomers 

Who blossomed apart (who blossomed apart) 

Watching my parents 

made me look for something destructive 

And there you were 

With all the characteristics of my mom 

Familiarity of home 

The geographic gap led to forced adulthood 

And your rage exposed 

I'm glad we left things when we did 

I doubt Id survive another bloody nose (bloody nose) 

We were never meant to be lovers 

We just mirrored each other's self destructiveness (self destructiveness) 

The spotlight burned in the room when we were together 

And we played our parts 

And I wore an imaginary tv screen 

So you never got to touch my heart 

We were never meant to be lovers 

Our egos fed off each other 

And died overweight (and died overweight) 

I thought Id seen it all when you first walked in 

But you shut me up 

And challenged every wrong perception I've had of myself 

And you haven't ever stopped
