Introduction
C.C. Girls Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Three years is a long time when you're this young
Throwing that all away on someone
Who turned from your favorite person
To your least favorite in a matter of months is shattering
Completely defeating
This album is a story of love, heartbreak and what's come after
I'm not over you, but I've accepted that you're bad for me
You're no longer the person I fell in love with

The negative effects from you still linger within me
And probably will for a long time
They're the only memory of you that means anything anymore

I hope you hear this
Thanks, for nothing
