lyrics

I was warmer once
Before all this was done
And felt half safe and loved
Even if not good enough

There was no crying after phone calls
In my apartment still alone
No big things I shouldn't tell you
and things I’d rather not have known

Didn't dread your short text messages
Never felt like I raised myself
I still question my right to say
That now I kind of feel that way

And it still feels like it’s raining and I’m afraid of everyone
I guess there is no one to fault but I’ve never trusted anyone
I’d form a new religion so I could be my home
I’m far from wise I realize there’s much that I don’t know

I feel the lies behind my eyes and crawling out my cuticles
Want to taste the blood of whatever God won’t leave my patched up heart alone

And I’m not trying to attack you
It’s not about deserving better
It’s taking 4 years to realize
that this won’t just blow over

I am not entitled to anything from you
I know I’ve made it seem like that.

I am not entitled to anything I did not create and I will
fight to keep on fighting till I win my right to feel OK

And it still feels like it’s raining and I’m afraid of everyone
I guess there is no one to fault but I’ve never trusted anyone
I try to talk it out and tell you but that only makes it worse
You deny it and though I try not to let it oh it hurts

And it still feels like it’s raining and I’m afraid of everyone
I guess there is no one to fault but I’ve never trusted anyone
I try to talk it out and tell you but that only makes it worse
You deny it and though I try not to let it oh it hurts
Oh it hurts
