Only 13

I was only 13, 

when heartbreak hit me,

too hard, I'm too young (for this)

 

I was only 13, 

this boy, he played me,

like a puppet, and I let him hurt me.

 

He told me that he wants me as his girlfriend,

his "future girlfriend,"

He lied.

 

Told myself that this would be the last,

Told myself that he was in the past,

Lied to all my friends that I was over him,

Found a crush so I could think 'bout someone else

for once.

Cuz' I was only 13, and he was only 12 (ha!)

 

I was only 13, 

gave him my wretched heart,

but then he smiled, 

and tore it apart (apart).

 

I'll wait a year till you can date, 

he made me think that this was fate,

he told me, I was pretty,

but now I'm pretty, sure that it was bait.

He should've said I'm beautiful,

Guess he just isn't suitable, for me, (for me)

Cuz I was only 13, (oh, oh)

Cuz I was only 13 (only 13, I swear)

And he, was, only, 12.
