I cried because you bruised me
I cried because you lied
I cried because when you hit me, eachtime a part of me died
When I cried you thought it was funny
When I cried you made fun of me
but when I saw you laugh, I knew you were everything I never want to be
Now I cry because I am happy
Now i cry because I belong
I cry now because I am grown, and I know what you did was wrong
