i've been soother
|
and i've been wife
|
tried to solve your life
|
stuck with you through your rainy days
|
thought that it was just a phase
|
when the sun came out i tried
|
to get away and fly
|
but the needs we had did not subside
|
what a way for our love to die
|
|
i've been hiding behind my gifts
|
i give until it starts to rip
|
the skin is torn where i begin
|
the thread is worn and might give in
|
underneath it all i feel the eyes
|
of all the things that i despise
|
can i fight them off with sticks and stones?
|
can i fight them off alone?
|
|
soothe yourself [x3]
|
|
now i'm thinking about my own advice
|
if i could soothe myself it might be nice
|
callin' names ain't the same no more
|
took a look and locked that door
|
memories and cold hard facts
|
watched it all come rushing back
|
all the times i told you what to do
|
all the times i thought i knew
|
|
soothe yourself [x4]
|
|
soothe yourself [x3]
