Dear Grandpa,

Verse 1

It hurts me now to think
That only eleven years ago, we were so close.
You were my hero; my idol.
I wanted to be just like you
When I grew up.

Pre-Chorus

If I'd known then
That you weren't everything I thought,
I would have left you;
Just like everyone else.

Chorus

An innocent child
With not a care in the world.
All I wanted was to spend time with you.
All you wanted all along
Was to find a way to hurt me.

Verse 2

I remember the day that everything changed;
It was a hot summer day in July.
We were sitting on the bed in your room.
We were reading Little Red Riding Hood.
That day, you went from 'Grandpa' to 'Molester.'

Pre-Chorus

If I'd known then
That you weren't everything I thought,
I would have left you;
Just like everyone else.

Chorus

An innocent child
With not a care in the world.
All I wanted was to spend time with you.
And all along, all you wanted
Was to find a way to hurt me.

Verse 3

How could you abandon me like that?
I was supposed to be able to trust you.
I never let you down; I never let you fall.
I was there for you when no one else was.
And you turned it all around.

Pre-Chorus

If I'd known then
That you weren't everything I thought,
I would have left you;
Just like everyone else.

Chorus

An innocent child
With not a care in the world.
All I wanted was to spend time with you
And all along, you really only wanted
To tear me apart, piece by piece

Fade Out

It hurts me now to think
That only eleven years ago, we were so close.
You were my hero; my idol.
I wanted to be just like you
When I grew up.
