The silent night is keeping me from sleep
2am, [bad word] with bare feet
Heartbeat racing, I was just sixteen
Caught a taxi, hoping I'm not seen
So naive, I could not bear to wait

Oh, oh what I didn't know
I never loved him so
So what was real
And oh, he was a [bad word] to me
But he's the casualty of love

Through my neighborhood
(I didn't care)
Nothing could stop me from getting there
Had a sickness, he was my medicine
So in lust, he could have been anyone
Not so special, Mama was right after all

Oh, oh what I didn't know
I never loved him so
So what was real
And oh, he was a [bad word] to me
But he's the casualty of love

Mama was right there was no love
It's all in my mind
Just an obsession with him
What a waste of my time

Mama was right there was no love
It's all in my mind
Just an obsession with him
What a waste of my time

Oh, oh what I didn't know
I never loved him so
So what was real
And oh, he was a [bad word] to me
But he's the casualty of love
