A girl as light as a petal, sent ripples throughout my existence, 
 A girl as clear as the day, blurred my vision
 A girl as pure as light, is making me lose sight 
 I am pulled towards her as if the world is tipped her way. 
 With my heart on my sleeve, I took the leap 
 With not much to expect, I put it to rest 
 To my surprise it was not yet my demise
 As
 She is 
                 A girl that took my hand 
                     A girl that taught me to stand 
                         A girl that made me a man
 Fate had something else in mind, our paths intertwined, but our hearts were blind
 As
 She became
            A girl that tore me apart 
              A girl that left me there to stand 
                 A girl that chose another man
You were my girl, you drew me in, you taught me to love and you taught me to sin. 
 I have lost trust, I have lost the reason
 I have lost the fight. Yet you are the girl I cannot despise.
