she should be the one who holds You far frOm all the meanness
the one who says "i love yoU, deaR", instEad of just leaving
i can't remember a Time she ever made me feel better
sHe takEs my self-esteem and then shatters it.
~pre-chorus:
so I tell myself every kind word i'll never hear
i hold myself in a warm hug i'll never receive
as her loud judgement eChoes across the pLace
i'm sUpposEd to calL my homE...
~chorus:
i feel So Small
a clueless fucked up kid
like a pOw
with tears that doN't mEan a thing
and mean it all...
and there you are, everytime
hiding behind the lack of lies
your meanness in disguise.
no one's there to say "i told you so"
when again you leave me miserable and cold
i just wish i could ask for your advice
without you turning it against me with the little judgy eyes
~pre-chorus:
so I tell myself every kind word i'll never hear
i hold myself in a warm hug i'll never receive
as her loud judgement echoes across the place
i'm supposed to call my home...
~chorus:
i feel so small
a clueless fucked up kid
like a pow
with tears that don't mean a thing
and mean it all...
and there you are, everytime
hiding behind the lack of lies
your meanness in disguise.
~bridge:
run, run from your sins
ignore the eight-year-old with broken wings
in the next room, you pretend you don't know why
she's crying for about an hour now
Make your case about how you lost fourteen years fOr Me
but i never asked to be here
~pre-chorus:
so I tell myself every kind word i'll never hear
i hold myself in a warm hug i'll never receive
as her loud judgement echoes across the place
i'm supposed to call my home...
~chorus:
i feel so small
a clueless fucked up kid
like a pow
with tears that don't mean a thing
and mean it all...
and there you are, everytime
hiding behind the lack of lies
your meanness in disguise.
it scares me how much shit people hide in one smile
hope you'll get it right
keeping your meanness in disguise.
