I was born with sadness built in
Even my grandmother said, that is too much pain for a child to know
And so I stand in my shower
And I cry
And I don't care how ugly it looks
And I cry
So hard it feels like retching
And I cry
From a place I have always known
And I cry
I fear I always will.

Even my grandmother said, that is too much pain for a child to know
And so I stand in my shower
And I cry
And I don't care how ugly it looks
And I cry
So hard it feels like retching
And I cry
From a place I have always known
And I cry
I fear I always will.
