The nurse should not be the one who puts salt in your wounds
But it´s always with trust that the poison is fed with a spoon
When you´re helpless with no one to turn to alone in your room
You would swear that the one who would care for you never would leave
She promised and said, "you will always be safe here with me"
But promises open the door to be broken to me
No I´m never, no I´m never, no I´m never gonna let you down now
No I´m never, no I´m never, no I´m never gonna let you down
No I´m never, no I´m never, no I´m never gonna let you down now
No I´m never, no I´m never, no I´m never gonna let you down
The maid that you've hired could never conspire to kill
She´s to mother, not quietly smother you when you´re most ill
The one that you´re trusting suspiciously dusting the sill
No I´m never, no I´m never, no I´m never gonna let you down now
No I´m never, no I´m never, no I´m never gonna let you down
No I´m never, no I´m never, no I´m never gonna let you down now
No I´m never, no I´m never, no I´m never gonna let you down
But it´s always with trust that the poison is fed with a spoon
When you´re helpless with no one to turn to alone in your room
You would swear that the one who would care for you never would leave
She promised and said, "you will always be safe here with me"
But promises open the door to be broken to me
No I´m never, no I´m never, no I´m never gonna let you down now
No I´m never, no I´m never, no I´m never gonna let you down
No I´m never, no I´m never, no I´m never gonna let you down now
No I´m never, no I´m never, no I´m never gonna let you down
The maid that you've hired could never conspire to kill
She´s to mother, not quietly smother you when you´re most ill
The one that you´re trusting suspiciously dusting the sill
No I´m never, no I´m never, no I´m never gonna let you down now
No I´m never, no I´m never, no I´m never gonna let you down
No I´m never, no I´m never, no I´m never gonna let you down now
No I´m never, no I´m never, no I´m never gonna let you down

Although it makes references to nurses/maids, I think that's just being used as a metaphor to describe being betrayed by one's mother as a child. The first verse especially suggests that there is a certain security about the relationship which turns out to be a false sense of security. 'Course, it could actually be a nurse...
