Why Am I Paying For It?

When I was 7 you told me not to cry
You stopped me from running in the streets
And then 11 what is left is just us 3

Now I'm 13 all my innocence is gone
Sweet 16 all they see in me is him
And when I'm 18 I am paying for his sins

And I know you didn't mean to hurt me
But you did everything to burn me
You said that you had it worse than me
But why am I paying for it?

Like a crumbled up piece of paper even if you tried to straighten
You would always find the crinkles and tears
But he put me in a frame up on the wall
Like a piece of art

I know you didn't mean to hurt me
But you did everything to burn me
You said that you had it worse than me
But why am I paying for it?

And I know you didn't mean to hurt me
But you did everything to burn me
You said that you had it worse than me
But why am I paying for it?
