"To You..."


To you, it was a girl just being mean.

To me, she was a bully.

 

To you, everything seemed fine.

To me, I was hurt deeply.

 

To you, it was nothing.

To me, it left a scar.

 

To you, her words mean nothing.

To me, her words cut so deep.

 

To you, I haven't changed.

To me, I'll never be the same.

 

To you, it doesn't affect me.

To me, it's affected everything.
