Another bruise,
a bloody lip,
and I'm the one to mend her ego.
Cover up and darker shades,
to hide the pain you've caused.
Icy tears, a colder heart
I'll do my best to bring her back.
She's not herself because you couldn't check your rage
I hope you know just what you've done,
and know this isn't over just 'cos you left,
you still have me to answer to.
