Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I called you brazen Called you whore right to your face And watched you silently And publicly disgraced I didn't notice When you strengthened like a vice That you were trembling And burned beneath the ice [Chorus: x2] Why don't you weep When I hurt you? Why don't you weep When I cut you? You don't bleed And the anger builds up inside You said a prayer And I betrayed you with a kiss I never realized that all Had come to this So keep your dignity Don't throw it all to waste Stronger feelings Than you've ever learned to face [Repeat Chorus]
