My forearms are sore From pretending to grip hands that aren't there And my head has become torn from all the eyes That just stare
I remember those eyes were the reason I used to grow my hair long So I could wear my blonde reflection as a safety blanket And maybe no one would bother to ask how I was when that's exactly what I wanted But that was a long time ago, and nothing's changed, and all these eyes are still quite haunting But you didn't have to go out of your way to tell me that it's okay Because I love you too much, and your words are too positive And my negative little head is gravitating to you like a magnet No matter how you may change me, my thoughts are still stagnant
Your computer eyes, can calculate me like I'm as simple as an algebraic equation It makes me hate you when you can fix me and cure me of every abrasion Why couldn't I be that strong by myself, why couldn't I take it When you leave who's going to cover the scar you left I'm no longer young like I used to be, I don't have that safety blanket I'm just wearing you, and I'm wearing you down
Good thing it's getting colder cause I can't tell the difference in my heart But inside of me somewhere my tears are running a watermill And that's the only thing that keeps me going That's the only thing that keeps me up late at night
