_the abridged version_

~

Don’t tell a little girl you’ll be there  When you won’t  Because it will crush her  And leave her confused  When she’s still figuring out how life works 

…

Don’t leave her when she needs you the most  Because I promise  She will spend her whole life  Waiting to get back to you
