On-screen text

My mind is trying to get out But I can't move a thing The way that I'd yell The way that I'd scream You never had the right To blame me I was young, mad, and 17 And honestly you'd cut me deep But I never hurt you The way that you'd hurt me Made me a clean A mess you're making I dug my own grave And climbed right in Made me wash my skin Off your skin Doing all your dirty work As I sat right there You knew it burned Watching me watch you get off Crying to ya Begging you to stop
