[00:02.536]You spent your whole life trying to be tough
[00:13.275]Cause your parents married pain to love
[00:24.138]But you go all white at the sight of blood
[00:34.672]And Jesus knows that you've seen enough
[00:45.448]
[01:06.767]Something happened back when you were young
[01:17.273]It kills you but you won't tell me what it was
[01:28.294]Sleeping on the floor in your grandma's room
[01:38.667]Too tired to cry, too weak to even move
[01:46.766]
[01:49.652]You're so scared you'll make the mistakes you
[01:54.455]Had to watch your daddy make that
[01:59.938]Took your mama and everything away
[02:10.409]But it's not your fault and I don't need help
[02:15.257]Cause these bruises on my body, I gave to myself
[02:22.436]You're allowed to take care of yourself
[02:30.555]
[02:32.186]25 and you're still crying in your sleep
[02:42.547]Scared the world is out to get you
[02:52.226]And you've tried every bottle but you're in too deep
[03:03.101]Cause you don't know any better, how could you?
[03:10.635]
[03:13.926]And the fear is there when we're in your bed
[03:19.268]And I start to cry and you think it's something you did
[03:28.191]But baby I'm alright
[03:32.528]I'm alright
[03:34.576]
[03:35.959]You're so scared you'll make the mistakes you
[03:40.720]Had to watch your daddy make that
[03:46.613]Took your mama and everything away
[03:56.235]But it's not your fault and I don't need help
[04:02.028]Cause these bruises on my body, I gave to myself
[04:09.279]You're allowed to take care of yourself
[04:17.166]
[04:18.395]Last night I dreamed that you had gone away
[04:28.622]Woke up in tears and stayed in bed all day
[04:39.685]And I'm terrified that I'll lose everyone I have
[04:50.054]That I'll watch them leave and wait but they won't come back
[04:58.555]
[05:01.291]You're so scared you'll make the mistakes you
[05:06.539]Had to watch your daddy make that

25 and you're still crying in your sleep
Scared the world is out to get you
And you've tried every bottle but you're in too deep
Cause you don't know any better, how could you?
And the fear is there when we're in your bed
And I start to cry and you think it's something you did
