| Tossed around like sea glass and you rounded out my edges.
|
| I’ll feel better when the headaches go away.
|
| I got a scar across my forehead, turning purple in the cold
|
| From a night at Shore Memorial.
|
| I was 16 and afraid.
|
| Turned away, like I’m working baby face
|
| Out of Mid-South in the 80's.
|
| I kept a blade hidden in my wrist tape.
|
| I think I’m growing into someone you could trust.
|
| I want to shoulder the weight until my back breaks,
|
| I want to run until my lungs give up.
|
| If I could manage not to fuck this up.
|
| If I could manage not to fuck this up.
|
| I think enough is enough.
|
| Hidden in the tall grass in the naked light of day,
|
| I put my past-self in the ground.
|
| I’ve been dancing on the grave.
|
| I’m not the person that I was then,
|
| I’m tearing him away.
|
| I was bitter. |
| I was careless.
|
| I was 19 and afraid
|
| But you deserved more from me.
|
| I don’t know why I would say those things.
|
| But you deserved more from me and I’m trying every day.
|
| I think I’m growing into someone you could trust.
|
| I want to shoulder the weight until my back breaks,
|
| I want to run until my lungs give up.
|
| If I could manage not to fuck this up.
|
| If I could manage not to fuck this up.
|
| I think enough is enough.
|
| You left me walking in circles.
|
| You were a shot in the dark.
|
| You were the baby teeth I buried.
|
| You were the sounds of distant cars.
|
| You left me walking in circles.
|
| You were a shot in the dark.
|
| You were the banner that says «No One»
|
| That I tattooed across my heart.
|
| You left me walking in circles.
|
| You were a shot in the dark.
|
| You’re scattered like ashes across every song that I write.
|
| You’re where the light pollution starts.
|
| I think I’m growing into someone you could trust.
|
| I want to shoulder the weight until my back breaks,
|
| I want to run until my lungs give up.
|
| If I could manage not to fuck this up.
|
| If I could manage not to fuck this up.
|
| Enough is enough. |
