Abigail Mccarthy - Scarlet Letter Lyrics

I bought a t-shirt for your band
I didn't know any better then
Told me you had problems with your girlfriend
Made me delete all the evidence

You had 10 years on me at least
(Ten whole fucking years)
I met you when I was 15
Guess you could say I was naive
Guess you could say you were a creep

I was just a kid
And you should’ve known better
Should've known better, better
God inside my head
Monster under my bed
Painted me
With a scarlet letter

Heard you moved to the west side of the country
Don't think that’s even far enough away for me
(Stay away)
I hope you're swallowed by the fault line
(Swallowed and chewed up)
And California spits you out like sour wine
I was just a kid
And you should've known better
Should've known better, better
God inside my head
Monster under my bed
Etched in blood
Was that scarlet letter

You hunted me just like a vampire
You knew my age
And how much I admired you
Told me at night
What you wanted to do to me
While I was reading Shakespeare
You taught me anatomy

I was just a kid
And you should've known better
Should've known better, better
God inside my head
Monster under my bed
A cover up
And a scarlet letter

Who saves the children?
Not the ones with the money
Who gets punished
And who walks free?
Marked by shame
Like an open sore
How many others?
How many more?
I was just a kid
Should've known better
Better, better
God inside my head
You're the monster under my bed
A slap on your wrist
Is a slap to my face
I was just a kid
And you should’ve known better
Better, better
God inside my head
Now I’ll never get rid of
This scarlet letter
