Dear Anna by Eva Westphal Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Dear Anna
I'm at a bookstore in New York wondering if I remembering it right
Sometimes I try to convince myself that I made it all up in my mind
[Verse 2]
Dear Anna
I used to miss you but now I'm just angry when thoughts of you get in the way
I hope to God every time that you walk past that room all you see is my face
And I hope that it hurts
[Chorus]
'Cause you said that you loved me
So why'd you do what you did
Did you forget that I was a kid?
[Verse 3]
Dear Anna
I've realized we could not be more different
You spend your life in the same town you grew up in
And I moved to New York
And I'm trying to build myself up from the ground
[Chorus]
And you said I was special
So why'd you do what you did
Did you forget that I was a kid?
And I'm trying, oh I'm, oh I'm trying to forget
That I was a kid
[Bridge]
And you can show this song to your therapist
And she can tell you you had good intentions
But good intentions don't hide
But good intentions don't lie
But good intentions don't show up in my dreams at night
But good intentions don't make me cry like you did
When I was a kid
[Chorus]
And you said that you loved me
Though why'd you do what you did
Who the hell does that to a kid?
And I've tried, believe me I've tried to forget
But I just can't forget
'Cause I was a kid
[Verse 4]
Dear Anna
I'm at bookstore in New York
And for the first time I feel relief
I'm younger than when we first met
But I'm ten times the person you'll ever be
