The Bitter Gift

Intro

Ay

Ay mi vida

Mm-hmm

Verse 1

I walk into the room and they go quiet

Every face turns toward me like a wall

I never raised a hand against a single one of them

Still they circle me and wait for me to fall

Pre-Chorus

Why do you need to see me breaking

Why do you smile when I cry

You slip the powder in my plate

And watch me wonder why

Chorus

Please don't hurt me again

I did nothing wrong

Please don't hurt me again

You all can laugh out loud

You all can make your jokes

But my heart is going wild

Please don't hurt me again

I did nothing wrong

Post-Chorus

Ay-ay-ay

No more

Ay-ay-ay

No more

Verse 2

My mother asks me why I barely eat

I tell her nothing tell her I'm just tired

They pour their bitter gifts inside my drink

And call me crazy when I lose my mind

I sit alone and count the crooked names they gave me

Pre-Chorus

Why do you need to see me breaking

Why do you laugh at all my pain

You hide the poison in my supper

And I am left to blame

Chorus

Please don't hurt me again

I did nothing wrong

Please don't hurt me again

You all can laugh out loud

You all can make your jokes

But my heart is going wild

Please don't hurt me again

I did nothing wrong

Bridge

I am not the joke you made of me

I am not the wound you opened wide

I never asked for any of your cruelty

I only asked to live inside the light

Breakdown

No more

No more

No more hurting me

Chorus

Please don't hurt me again

I did nothing wrong

Please don't hurt me again

You all can laugh out loud

You all can make your jokes

But my heart is going wild

Please don't hurt me again

I did nothing wrong

Post-Chorus

Ay-ay-ay

No more

Ay-ay-ay

No more
