It happened years ago

By Shelley violet Smith
Verse 1
I don't wanna see you
It's not a question of if I have the time
You go on living your life
As if you never harmed mine
Go ahead and tell it your way
I don't have to mind


Pre chorus
'Cause one day you'll be gone
And they'll ask me if I'll come
But I don't know if I'll go
It was never what I called home


Chorus
And when I'm thinking it over
I remember what you said...
Yeah, here's what you said:
"It happened years ago
It doesn't matter anymore
You should just let it go"
But did you tell people what you said?
Or what it was that happened?


Hook
I'm guessing not
When it looks bad
It looks bad


Verse 2
I don't wanna hear from you
It's not a question of if I owe you anything
You get to pretend I don't exist
Unless I give in to your demands
Go ahead and say whatever you like
I don't need to know about any of it


Pre chorus
'Cause one day you'll be gone
And they'll ask me if I'll come
But I don't know if I'll go
It was never what I called home


Chorus
And when I'm thinking it over
I remember what you said...
Yeah, here's what you said:
"It happened years ago
It doesn't matter anymore
You should just let it go"
But did you tell people what you said?
Or what it was that happened?


Hook
I'm guessing not
When it looks bad
It looks bad


Bridge
Expectation doesn't mean I'm obligated
I stepped back to avoid the pressure I'm related to
My feelings mattered, society told me they didn't
No one questioned my grief I carried it in silence


Chorus
And when I'm thinking it over
I remember what you said...
Yeah, here's what you said:
"It happened years ago
It doesn't matter anymore
You should just let it go"
But did you tell people what you said?
Or what it was that happened?


Chorus
And if I told them every word
Here's what you said
"It happened years ago
It doesn't matter anymore
You should just let it go"
If they heard what happened
Would the world still defend
And say yeah, but they're still your parents?


Hook
I'm guessing not
When it looks bad
It looks bad
