Stephanie Smith - First Words lyrics

It was the freshman year of my high school career Things had barely gotten underway Before my innocence would be betrayed Starting with a phone call, a family member dies And at the funeral I looked into your eyes For the first time, this was a dream of mine But you didn't know me, you didn't know my name The first words you spoke to me Since you left my family You didn't call me Stephanie This will take some getting over don't you agree But now I'm here I know it's been a few years I've shed a few tears and now I have a few things to say When we met, you broke my heart 14 years old and you tore me apart But that aside, please know I love you And more than that, I forgive you Meeting at a truck stop for lunch We covered basics, let's keep in touch Not even a week later, a letter in the mail You think it's better to let this fail Another attempt to get to know my father Efforts exhausted, why did I bother The first words you wrote to me Since I made you family They worried me to the worse degree This will take some getting over don't you agree But now I'm here And now it's been a few years I've shed a few tears and now I have a few things to say When we met, you broke my heart 19 years old and you tore me apart But that aside, please know I love you And more than that, I forgive you I forgive you I forgive you
