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?
