If I could build a time machine,
I would go back to the day,
The day you said you loved me,
I’d go back and say,
Don’t lie.

If I could be a mind reader,
I’d listen to your thoughts,
Listen to when you thought you’d hurt me,
And I’d tell you,
Youre wrong.

And if by some good fortune,
I ever learned to fly,
I’d fly away and leave you there,
And I wouldn’t say,
Good bye.

Today I got a backbone,
So I am standing strong,
You can yell but you cant touch me,
I am saying,
Get lost.

This is for the boy that toyed with me, while waiting for my best friend to talk to him. This is for the boy that crushed me over and over again, and I wouldnt admit it, till today. Get lost.
