Hold on, baby, your mistake is my exam
If you get over it, I've passed
But if it breaks you, it's me who has failed
I could kill for every single tear
In these innocent eyes
Yet I'm the one who rolls them down your cheeks
All you ask for is love
And it's all I want to give you but I
Need you to show me how
If you don't forgive yourself, you won't be forgiven
You don't need to try too hard
You’re perfect when you're good enough
And I know one day you'll find the beauty that's hidden inside you
But till then be strong, girl, be smarter than I
But till then be strong, girl, be smarter than I
My sweet baby, the game of life is in your hands
And you can play it well, I know
But if it breaks you, it's me who's at fault
I should give you all the strength you need
To keep the doubters at bay
Yet I'm the one who deals the hardest blows
All you ask for is love
And it's all I want to give you
But I need you to show me how
If you don't forgive yourself, you won't be forgiven
You don't need to try too hard
You’re perfect when you're good enough
And I know one day you'll find the beauty that's hidden inside you
But till then be strong, girl, be smarter than I
But till then be strong, girl, be smarter than I
Take it easy, child, don't cry
Let me hold your hand
Let me stroke your hair
Sleep well, sleep well
I promise I'll never hurt you again
I promise I'll never hurt you again
