I whisper sister
You act like you don't understand
I've got a blister
Trying in vain to hold your hand
You call me precious
I can hear the bark inside your bite
You should chew it over
Or you could end up choking on your spite
Do you see what you want to be,
What you're hiding from
When you look at me?
Do you see what you want to see?
It's ok to be yourself as long as you're like me
You can be yourself as long as you're like me
Take away the sugar
And add a cup of sticks and stones
Without the sweetness
We're all still made of blood and bones
If I cut my hair, if I dyed my skin,
If I didn't care would you let me in?
If I didn't try, if I didn't bleed
If I didn't cry, would you let me breathe?Say you stand by your man
Tell me something I don't understand
You said you loved me and that's a fact
and then you left me, said you felt trapped
Well some things you can't explain away
But my heartache's in me till this day
CHORUS
You didn't you stand by me
No, not at all
You didn't stand by me
No way
All the times
When we were close
I'll remember these things the most
I see all my dreams come tumbling down
I won't be happy without you round
So all alone I keep the wolves at bay
and there is only one thing that I can't say
CHORUS
You must explain why this must be
Did you lie when you spoke to me
Did you stand by me
No, not at all
Now I got a job
But it don't pay
I need new clothes
I need somewhere to stay
But without all of these things I can do
But without your love I won't make it through
But you don't understand my point of view
I suppose there's nothing I can do
CHORUS
You must explain why this must be
Did you lie when you spoke to me
Did you stand by me
Did you stand by me
No, not at all
Did you stand by me
No way
Did you stand by me
No, not at all
Did you stand by me
No way
