I wish someone would have told me
Way back when I was one
There is only you to trust
When all is said and done
I wish someone would have told me
Way back when I was two
There is nothing that is real
And every lie is somehow true
I wish someone would have told me
Way back when I was three
The reflection that I am
wouldn�t always see me
I wish someone would have told me
Way back when I was four
That I would live a day
Where life didn�t matter any more
I wish someone would have told me
Way back when I was five
All the damage ahead of me
And the will I had to survive
I wish someone would have told me
Way back when I was six
I�d find the way to fool them all
With glamour and the tricks
I wish someone would have told me
Way back when I was seven
My life would take a darkened turn
When I reached the age eleven
I wish someone would have told me
Way back when I was eight
That I would protect myself
And arm myself with hate
I wish someone would have told me
Way back when I was nine
That every piece of me
Would somehow not be mine
I wish someone would have told me
Way back when I was ten
That I would learn to rule the world
Through the weaknesses of men
I wish someone would have told me
Way back when I was eleven
That my father would die
And with him hell and heaven
