Tossed around like sea glass And you rounded out my edges I´ll feel better when the headaches go away I´ve got a scar across my forehead Turning purple in the cold
From a night at Shore Memorial I was sixteen and afraid Turned away Like I´m working babyface Out of Mid-South in the eighties 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 ´til my back breaks I want to run till 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 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 nineteen and afraid
But you deserve more from me I don´t know why I would say those things But you deserve more than 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 till 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 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 till 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
