Bruises on my back
Shaking in my bed
But you didn't hit me
Did you?
Guess you just don't know
Your own strength
It's my fault, right?
Shouldn't have pissed you off
Wish I wasn't so tough

Hiding in the bathroom, in my tomb
Hoping for something to bloom

Finding all kinds of excuses, it's your past
It's your bruises, it's your mom, it's your dad
It's all the things you never had
But if you wanna punish me for all their mistakes
After breaking me, could you please
Don't forget to heal me

Thinking of the time I still used to dream
About some peace and a little ice cream
Now all I wish for is some self-esteem
How come I'm just not able to leave

Nightmares, screaming, tables turning
All the fear that's anchored in so deeply
Crying, cursing, but still hoping
For the battle to disappear

Finding all kinds of excuses, it's your past
It's your bruises, it's your mom, it's your dad
It's all the things you never had
If you wanna punish me for all their mistakes
After breaking me, could you please
Don't forget to heal me

Nightmares, screaming, tables turning
All the fear that's anchored in so deeply
Crying, cursing, but still hoping
For the battle to disappear

Don't forget to heal me
