Lyrics

BAD GIRLS DON'T CRY

(verse 1)
I only told him what he wanted to hear
Whispered promises in his ear
I did the things that lovers do
I played the game and I broke the rules
I got what I wanted and he got used
(verse 2)
He tried so hard not to see
That I was not the woman I pretended to be
I watched him crumble and fall
And it didn't matter at all
I cut him deep and watched him bleed
(chorus)
But when I'm alone in my darkness
And there's no place left to hide
I wish I knew why
I wish I could just stay high
'Cause bad girls don't cry
Bad girls don't cry
(verse 3)
I ran away when I turned fifteen
From a place of fear and brutality
I learned how to survive
What it takes to stay alive
And keep everything inside
(verse 4)
I've sold my body, I've sold my soul
Now my heart is frozen stone
And though I miss his tender touch
It could never be enough
'Cause long ago I gave up on love
(bridge)
You can judge me if you have to
You can damn my soul
But until you've walked in my shoes
There's no way you will ever know
