please don't

Don’t think you never knew me
You knew me through and through
This wasn’t part of who I was
My love for you was true

I was the daughter you thought you had
It wasn’t all a lie
Don’t search for any answers
No one can tell you why

Don’t remember me like that
A lying selfish thief
I swear I tried to fight it
Its power beyond belief

Please forgive me please I beg
Don’t share the hate I feel
Self-loathing and pure disgust
It’s all part of the deal

I hope you look at my picture
And all you ever see
Is the girl you loved so very much
the girl I longed to be
