lyrics

it all ended when i thought it would continue
a petty fight and i was turning 19 soon
no call, no reply
i blacked out on my roof
drunk with my boys on my doorstep
i proceeded to tell them:
about the boy who beat me senselessly
that was when i was fifteen,
sometimes i get scared when i bruise in my sleep.
i thought i forgot when i was seventeen
people only know how to hurt me
whether it’s my body or feelings.

morphing into things i don’t want to be
my body was built to please,
that’s what my dad taught me

slim wrists and collar bones
and bruises beneath my clothes
but you will never know

because you claim to be boring
and uninteresting
so i’ll add you to the list of people who have hurt me.

it takes strength to be gentle and kind,
but the people i meet are weak and tired
you were always weak and tired
a hollow ear i cried to
that i never said goodbye to.
