Hey, little sister Sometimes I still wish I'd just covered your eyes from the start So you'd never remember the night that he left her He hit her then got in his car And you cried until your eyes dried Said that it's fine, you learned how to lie The next day was better, he just lost his temper And all that's left now are the scars The world can be cold I guess now you know It's a cruel, cruel place, wouldn't you say? I wish I could make it okay Hey, hey-hey, hey-hey Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh Hey little sister Yeah, time's passing quicker But isn't that how it all goes? With the life you were given, it's easy to give in I promise that you're not alone The world can be cold I guess now you know It's a cruel, cruel place, wouldn't you say? I wish I could make it okay Hey, hey-hey, hey-hey Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh The world can be cold I guess now you know It's a cruel, cruel place, wouldn't you say?
