It was the freshman year of my high school career
|
Things had barely gotten underway
|
Before my innocence would be betrayed
|
Starting with a phone call, a family member dies
|
And at the funeral I looked into your eyes
|
For the first time, this was a dream of mine
|
But you didn’t know me, you didn’t know my name
|
|
The first words you spoke to me
|
Since you left my family
|
You didn’t call me Stephanie
|
This will take some getting over don’t you agree
|
|
But now I’m here
|
I know it’s been a few years
|
I’ve shed a few tears and now I have a few things to say
|
When we met, you broke my heart
|
14 years old and you tore me apart
|
But that aside, please know I love you
|
And more than that, I forgive you
|
|
Meeting at a truck stop for lunch
|

|
We covered basics, let’s keep in touch
|
Not even a week later, a letter in the mail
|
You think it’s better to let this fail
|
Another attempt to get to know my father
|
Efforts exhausted, why did I bother
|
|
The first words you wrote to me
|
Since I made you family
|
They worried me to the worse degree
|
This will take some getting over don’t you agree
|
|
But now I’m here
|
And now it’s been a few years
|
I’ve shed a few tears and now I have a few things to say
|
When we met, you broke my heart
|
19 years old and you tore me apart
|
But that aside, please know I love you
|
And more than that, I forgive you
|
I forgive you
|
I forgive you
