I used to think he was lovely
the way he said my name
the way he went about my hips
and holding tight my gaze
I said he was the kindest
and he was kind to me
convinced that for him
I'd do anything
but he colored me blue
and he colored be gray
face pink in a shock
skin green in dismay
I sang him my soul
and he held all my dreams
I showed him my wounds
and he watched me bleed
he thought I was lovely
his shimmering jewel
and now, oh now
I'm a fool, oh a fool
it doesn't feel lovely
alone in the rain
his soul-prints had left me
a permanent stain
