dear drew

Dear drew, did you know where I was every lunchtime
In the back of the bathroom where I'd hide
From all of your friends and from you

Dear drew, remember that day on the playground
When you tripped me up and pushed me down
I went home and cried in my room

And I know it's been so long
But I got something to say in this song

You used to hate me, it used to break me
Now looking back I think oh how it made me
Maybe my closure was just getting older
Been a few years wishing I could've told ya

All that you'll be is the boy who hurt me
And I'll turn your words into songs people scream
Look at me now and how I turned out
Dear drew, thank you

Dear drew, I'm doing better than ever
Life ain't the playground it's better
I hope it's something you outgrow

And I don't think that we could ever be friends
But I wish you well and I mean it
But deep down I hope that you know

You used to hate me, it used to break me
Now looking back I think oh how it made me
Maybe my closure was just getting older
Been a few years wishing I could've told ya

All that you'll be is the boy who hurt me
And I'll turn your words into songs people scream
Look at me now and how I turned out
Dear drew, thank you

I finally feel like you're part of my history
I cut all the ties and erased all the memories
I'll give you some credit you put me through hell
But you showed me the man that I don't want to ever be

You used to hate me, it used to break me
Now looking back I think oh how it made me
Maybe my closure was just getting older
Now I'm at the pub and you start walking over, you say
Hello stranger, it's been forever
Got something to say, I'm dying to tell ya
I treated you awfully, oh how it haunts me
I want you to know, know that I'm sorry
