*bloodstains on my hands say
countless times have wounded her
yet she loves me to this day
weeps on my shoulder!*
You don't remind me woman
each time I stroke your hair
of the times I act a hurting man
of all the times I've been unfair.
Rather you hide all past scars
cover up my stinging bite
pretend things could be worse
thank god it turned all right.
You don't remind me woman
when I hug you tight
of the times I act a hurting man
bare to you unmanly might.
Rather you hide the flicker of pain
smile away my sins of past
pretend things would be same again
thank god in me you trust.

bare to you unmanly might.
Rather you hide the flicker of pain
smile away my sins of past
pretend things would be same again
thank god in me you trust.
