Lyrics:
I remember when I first saw you down school chilling with Lianne and Cheryl and Fiona and that.
Didn't know much about you just you were the new girl n you weren't a stoner n that
Wasn't long before you came round with a couple girls back when we used to smoke the hash
I didn't wanna smoke in front of you, knew you were a good girl didn't wanna ruin a chance
Few weeks went by and before I knew it we were
Going out together n stuff
You let me smoke weed and you didn't really mind as long as it wasn't heavier stuff
Then the e's came in and ya still seemed fine and you'd never even give it a touch
We'd all sit round doing our drugs and you'd just sit there watching us buzz
I never thought that you'd touch it, all I really knew was that you and me was in love
But not before long you'd be doing that weed and I swear it was messing me up
Because the girl that I knew was changing so quick that it made me think we'd break up
Of course it didn't take long til you're doing those e's and I hated to see ya fucked
Face gurning, spliff burning, swear down that it broke me seeing the one
That I loved so much, so high on those drugs, you were pure before, now you were one of our bunch
Time passed and I'm doing those shrooms, LSD and the speed with Guy n them lot
I had a bad trip and you had to come round n nurse me til I started livening up
That's when I realised I was too deep into drugs I was really getting hyper n rough
Then we broke up, must have been cos I was lost and you liked Sean, eyeing him up
I remember at that house party when I came round you were looking proper pilled up
On the bed with Sean, it broke my heart, wasn't long before I'm giving you up
So I carried on living my life, always felt like there was someone missing here but
It all changed when I got the call telling me you were having a baby, you were in love
Years passed and I saw you about, maybe once or twice, it hurt every time
But gradually I got over it, I just had to, otherwise I'd lose my mind
These days I still think about you, what could have been, if I'd have been enough
If I'd have been a good lad and kept my head down and never ever touched the drugs
Maybe I'd be normal, we'd have a fam, and we'd still be deep in love
But as long as you're happy, that's all that really matters, I wish you all the best, good luck
