Lyrics 7 Years - Cryptic Wisdom

7 Years

Once I was seven years old
My father told me
I’ll never leave again, you won’t be lonely
Once I was seven years old
I was a kid, I was seven
Never knew you or knew where you had been
What was the pen, too innocent?
Nothin' you said was makin' any sense
I was like damn, who is this man?
Standin' before me sayin' take a chance
Suddenly everything I thought I knew about the world
Was taken when I shook his hand
I was so mad, didn’t know why
Why was my name all tatted on your side?
Why did you mess with the bliss over me and my sister
We’re cool without you, doin' fine
We came around, you came around
Told us that you would never ever leave
Heart on my sleeve, letting it bleed
Waiting for you again 'cause I believed
Once I was eleven years old
My mama told me
I won’t do this again, need you to go please
Once I was eleven years old
