Esme Dawn - At Eleven Lyrics

But I needed you, at eleven
Barely a girl, let alone a woman
And I recall a lost ten years
Before fights echoed through my tears
Before I watched you let my childhood pass on by

I've been wondering
Did I ever mean as much to you as you did to me?
'Cause i've been stumbling
Through life since you left
Shining example of a mess
It will always be the way in which you loved me
I wish you'd regret

A simple smile, for a simple life
Strapped in the backseat, a different world went by
That was before a raging hope
For a dream you'd chosen to outgrow
Now I'll remember all those moments that you don't

I've been wondering
Did I ever mean as much to you as you did to me?
'Cause i've been stumbling
Through life since you left
Shining example of a mess
It will always be the way in which you loved me
I wish you'd regret

I never was a ray of sunshine
But i tried to be your dream
Parts of that tiny little girl
Are still alive in me
Is it wrong if forgive you now?
You were too young to care
You didn't know or realise
How much i needed you to just be there

I was wondering,
Would you try again? i could try and love you like i used to
'Cause i've been stumbling
Through life since you left
Shining example of a mess
It will always be the way in which you loved me...

I've been wondering
Did I ever mean as much to you as you did to me?
'Cause i've been stumbling
Through life since you left
Shining example of a mess
It will always be the way in which you loved me
I wish you'd regret
