Eva Westphal - Dear Anna

Dear Anna
I'm at a bookstore in New York wondering if I remember it right
Sometimes I try to convince myself that I made it all up in my mind
Dear Anna
I used to miss you, but now I'm just angry when thoughts of you get in the way
I hope to god every time that you walk past that room, all you see is my face
And I hope that it hurts
Cause you said that you loved me
So why'd you do what you did?
Did you forget that I was a kid?
Dear Anna
I've realized we could not be more different
You spend your life in the same town you grew up in
I moved to New York and I'm tryna build myself up from the ground
And you said I was special
So why'd you do what you did?
Did you forget that I was a kid?
And I'm trying, oh I'm trying
Oh I'm trying to forgive
But I was a kid
And you can show this song to your therapist
And she can tell you you had good intentions
But good intentions don't hide
Good intentions don't lie
Good intentions don't show up in my dreams at night
Good intentions don't make me cry like you did
When I was a kid
And you said that you loved me
So why'd you do what you did?
Who the hell does that to a kid?
And I've tried, believe me, I've tried
But I just can't forgive
Cause I was a kid
Dear Anna
I'm at a bookstore in New York
And for the first time, I feel relief
I'm younger than you were when we first met
But I'm ten times the person you'll ever be
