I can go back to that time
When you were never mine
I thought you were innocent
A beautiful sound from above
But I guess I was wrong
 

Back to the days 
When we were younger
We used to laugh so hard
But you're still bad for me
You smiled before you held me
And you told me with your eyes
"I won't let you fall"
 

But darling, I was too young 
And maybe I was naive
When my friends said
You were no good for me
But I'm here to say
 

I forgot your face
Your voice, your smell
All the things you said
When I was numb
Because of you 
I was still alive, yet not breathing
But today I'm here to say
 

I know what you did to me
The magic of your eyes
Trying to break my heart
With your scary cold hands
You had this love
Made in China
