You are about to find out what it takes, how the world is, how it works, and how it changes

All the little things I didn’t do or did wrong

I may have done some hurtful things

They were still giggling, so proud of themselves

Oh yeah, I feel bad sometimes

But it’s not my fault. It’s not my fault. It’s not

Things got better but I still had to be careful

So it was just us two for a long while

I did the best I could

I knew we were in trouble

I didn’t do it and have no idea how it happened

Then what? What did you mean?

The topic was not new

The plumbing in the mansion was breaking up

I don’t understand anything you’re saying

I know I’m an outsider, but I’m not an enemy

I’ll come back to check on you, okay?

You a pitiful case if ever I see one

They were in eternal if silent conversation

At a loss as to where to go or what to do
