Flashbacks.

Thank you for teaching me about the real Summer.
You were the only one that could do that, baby.
You were the only one that could change me.
You are the only one who has changed me.
You changed me for the better.

But, baby, you changed me in a different way.

You took away my heart.
And just as quickly as you took my heart,
they took me away from you.

When they took me away, baby, I changed.
I'm not the same as I was when I had you.
I'm different without you, lovely.

But don't worry, babe.
I'm faking smiles and laughs so no one will wonder.

I'm just empty without you, baby.

Somehow my pulse can be felt,
yet I have no heart to beat.

Maybe it's just the memories of my dad beating me....

Without you, babe, I'm just...
just Summer.
I'm just that fake little girl I used to be.

At least now I have memories of our love to think about,
so I don't have to think about my parents.

By the way, baby, I don't have very many flashbacks from when my dad hurt me....

Those memories were replaced by more painful memories.

I now see us.
I see you.
I see our love.

And baby, thinking about never getting to see you again is more painful than anything my dad could ever do to me.

I miss yah, babe.
I love you.
