You weren't a bee Bees are calm And peaceful You were a wasp Filled with the fury of a thousand men And a buzz that could send a child Into a fit of tears You promised not to hurt me That my skin would always Undoubtedly remain Pure and without stings I believed your lies I caressed your stinger And chose to believe That it would never harm me But it did And I turned numb and cold My skin burned like an angry fire My eyes shone with tears My cheeks were red as blood I begged for you to stop I couldn't control you

Wasps
You weren't a bee Bees are calm And peaceful You were a wasp Filled with the fury of a thousand men And a buzz that could send a child Into a fit of tears You promised not to hurt me That my skin would always Undoubtedly remain Pure and without stings I believed your lies I caressed your stinger And chose to believe That it would never harm me But it did And I turned numb and cold My skin burned like an angry fire My eyes shone with tears My cheeks were red as blood I begged for you to stop I couldn't control you
