When someone gets hurt,
They are supposed to cry,
So after hurting me,
Why do you expect me to smile?

It’s like you kill someone,
And when they die,
You don’t know that they’re dead,
And expect them to be alive,

And who do you think you are?
You cut me down,
And then come around,
Like nothing’s happened,

And who do you think you are?
You break me down,
And then come around,
Like you are so innocent,

Who do you think you are?

You know so many ways,
To hurt me again and again,
The ways are different,
But they give the same pain,

I wish that I could,
Get used to crying,
But every time you hurt me,
It’s like the first time,

And who do you think you are?
You cut me down,
And then come around,
Like nothing’s happened,

And who do you think you are?
You break me down,
And then come around,
Like you are so innocent,

Who do you think you are?

And when my wounds finally heal,
You come again with a sharp knife,
You cut me down and I keep bleeding,
But not enough to end this life,

And who do you think you are?
You cut me down,
And then come around,
Like nothing’s happened,

And who do you think you are?
You break me down,
And then come around,
Like you are so innocent,

Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?

The author's comments:
It hurts so much when someone hurts you and then asks, "What happened? Why are you upset?" They actually know the reason but just pretend like they don't know. It is really annoying...

"Writing, I think, is not apart from living. Writing is a kind of double living. The writer experiences everything twice. Once in reality and once in the mirror which waits always before or behind."

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
- Maya Angelou
When i was little/I used to point a chubby finger toward the dark sky/And ask my father/why some stars moved and others didn’t/He would laugh and explain that some were airplanes/I still wish on them today ~ Laugh-It-Out
The feathers of a crow are black/The ink of my pen is blacker/The pain of my heart is blackest~ Mckay
If love produced a blossom/I’d take it in my palm/What a blessing, the bright color!/How soothing, such a balm!/I’d keep a petal for my own/The rest, drop from my hands/For such a flower would multiply/And populate the lands~ thesilentraven
And I began to rival legends/Long entombed before my birth./But for all my much envied fame/The lust for more would not abate./The plaques and prizes with my name/Will, like all things, disintegrate. ~ TheEpic95 now known as Helena_Noel

Well well.... I haven't read many song lyrics here, but I like these.. considering that fact that I sang it all th way through.. well maybe I just love fierce retaliatory music sometimes...You should listen to "Jar of Hearts" by Christina Perri if you haven't already... This whole thing reminded me of that ...Oh and the line when you said: "Every time you hurt me , it's like the first time" That part reminded me of "The first cut is the deepest" I dunno the singer though just look it up with reference to One Tree Hil..... Oh and well overall I really think this is good. Looking forward to reading more. Regards. P.S. I'm still singing it.
