The Aftermath of Small Town Gossip

There once was a little girl with too much on her plate
She wanted so much to be left alone but could not clean her slate
One day she met a little boy with the same troubles as her own
She thought that he would be good for her but pain is all he's shown

There was once a little girl who with an appetite for destruction
She craved putting innocence into woe and dysfunction
One day she met a little boy who happened to be match
She thought she loved him but her broken heart she cannot patch

There was once a little boy alone in a sea of faces
He only wanted to be left alone as his memory he erases
One day he met a little girl who had also fallen into despair
He thought that she would stay and their tribulations share

There once was a little boy who had too much time on his hands
He ravaged this town with his lies and petty demands
One day he met a little girl who could play his game better
Now he sits alone in silence and wishes he had never met her
