lyrics

Honey, don’t quit.
Don’t quit.
Keep fighting it.

You have seen how these people just take, and now you are giving it.

A sweet little girl, a monstrous girl,
they wanted to teach you your size.
For five years they’d watch you go blind with tears:
the penalty for your clear eyes.

So don’t say ‘I’m sorry’ anymore.
So don’t say ‘I’m sorry’ anymore.

So you go down to the pawnshop in the rain
to sell his rings,
but you’d never get to spend the money.

Sarah said you’d rather sleep on the floor
than in that hateful bed;
should I believe her, honey?

Oh, show no mercy!
Oh, show no mercy, now!

And don’t say ‘I’m sorry’ anymore:
unforgiven, let them have your fire.
And don’t say ‘I’m sorry’ anymore:
unforgiven, let them have your fire.

Who would have thought that I wouldn’t come to save you,
wracked as I was by the limit of my will?
I was such a sick child, lonely and a sick child,
hands of a man and a penchant for the kill.

Who would have thought that I wouldn’t come to save you,
lost as you were to your unremitting pain?
You were such a hurt girl, lying in the dirt girl,
bloodied by a man who would ever be your bane.
