What a drastic night
He smiled, I cried
He laughed, I sobbed
What a drastic night
What an awful time
He looked, I looked away
He forced, I stayed still
What a drastic time
What an awful night
A memory I want to forget
A memory I want to erase
What a drastic night
What an awful time
My body bare
His hands on my back
Shivering
While he was lingering
What a drastic night
What an awful time
A memory to be dead
A memory to be left
