You spent your whole life trying to be tough Cause your parents married pain to love But you go all white at the sight of blood And Jesus knows that you've seen enough Something happened back when you were young It kills you but you won't tell me what it was Sleeping on the floor in your grandma's room Too tired to cry, too weak to even move You're so scared you'll make the mistakes you Had to watch your daddy make that Took your mama and everything away But it's not your fault and I don't need help Cause these bruises on my body, I gave to myself You're allowed to take care of yourself 25 and you're still crying in your sleep Scared the world is out to get you And you've tried every bottle but you're in too deep Cause you don't know any better, how could you? And the fear is there when we're in your bed And I start to cry and you think it's something you did But baby I'm alright I'm alright You're so scared you'll make the mistakes you Had to watch your daddy make that Took your mama and everything away But it's not your fault and I don't need help Cause these bruises on my body, I gave to myself You're allowed to take care of yourself Last night I dreamed that you had gone away Woke up in tears and stayed in bed all day And I'm terrified that I'll lose everyone I have That I'll watch them leave and wait but they won't come back You're so scared you'll make the mistakes you Had to watch your daddy make that Took your mama and everything away But it's not your fault and I don't need help Cause these bruises on my body, I gave to myself You're allowed to take care of yourself
