You poured hot water on me
And watched my make-up bleed away
Took all I had left to give
And turned it into something great
When the tears came thick on my lashes
You held me and cried with me
I always thought the world was cruel
But you showed me how things could be
All this work I spent
On something that I’m not
You took it all away
And showed me what I’ve really got
Stupid people in the world
And all the games they pay
You mended all the wounds
Helped me heal from all the pain
