oh these little refections how they add up quickly
one small sideways look and i feel so ungood
somewhere along the way
i think i gave you the power to make me feel
the way i thought only my father could

oh these little refections how they seem so real to me
one forgotten birthday i'm all but cooked
how these little abandonments
seem to sting so easily
i'm 13 again am i 13 for good?

i can feel so unxexy for someone so beautiful
so unloved for someone so fine
i can feel so boring for someone so interesting
so ignorant for someone of sound mind

oh these little protections how they fail to serve me
one forgotten phone call and i'm deflated
oh theses little defenses how they fail to comfort me
your hand pulling away and i'm devastated

when will i stop leaving baby?
when will i stop deserting baby?
when will i start stayin with myself?

oh these ittls projections how they keep springing from me
i jump my ship as i take it personally
oh these little rejections how they disappear quickly
the moment i decide not to abandon me
