Pure As a Lamb

You made me who I am
I read the books, held mama's hand
You told me I wasn't worthy
But God always has a plan

They shaped me and transformed me
Into someone they'd liked to see
A quiet modest young lady
Well, that's who I was meant to be

I'm pure, I'm pure, I'm pure as a lamb
I'm heaven's little virgin, too holy for man
I'm glass, I'm fire, I don't know hate
And that's how I'll get to the pearly gate

I'm pure, I'm pure, I'm pure as a lamb
I pray every morning and as much as I can
A whispered blessing is all I can say
Too keep the demons like you away

Now that I am beautiful
I wear what you want, you saved my soul
I have two ears for listening
And I'll keep doing what I'm told

And I hope you'll love me too
But I don't seem to be enough for you
I'm killing myself slowly
What else do you want me to do?

I'm pure, I'm pure, I'm pure as a lamb
I'm heaven's little virgin, too holy for man
I'm glass, I'm fire, I don't know hate
And that's how I'll get to the pearly gate

I'm pure, I'm pure, I'm pure as a lamb
I pray every morning and as much as I can
A whispered blessing is all I can say
Too keep the demons like you away

Oh, oh, oh

You watered your garden I grew
But you destroyed me, you grabbed me by the roots
You plucked my petals just like the devil would do
And if I'm going to hell, I hope that you go too

I'm pure, I'm pure, I'm pure as a lamb
I'm heaven's little virgin, too holy for man
I'm glass, I'm fire, I don't know hate
And that's how I'll get to the pearly gate

Now I feel dirty, look what you did
I wasn't an object, I was a kid
And I'm scarred and mangled, I am used
And all of this because of you
