[Verse 1]
I don't know what to say to you
I shouldn't judge, but I often do
When you gonna come back home?
Why'd you leave me all alone?
[Verse 2]
I cut myself sharp and deep
It's the only thing that lets me sleep
Takes the pain from off my face
And puts it in one tiny space
[Chorus]
Where I can keep it down out of sight
Way off to the side
It won't come at me on a cold dark night
The red ridges I can't hide
They're on the outside
[Verse 3]
I don't know what to say to you
I'm pretty sure you wouldn't want me to
Despite conviction, I still lack proof
As the rain beats down on the motel roof
[Verse 4]
And I miss those long hot summer days
When I can keep that beast at bay
Long shadows bring it back to life
'Til it sees its reflection in a short sharp knife
I don't know what to say to you
I shouldn't judge, but I often do
When you gonna come back home?
Why'd you leave me all alone?
[Verse 2]
I cut myself sharp and deep
It's the only thing that lets me sleep
Takes the pain from off my face
And puts it in one tiny space
[Chorus]
Where I can keep it down out of sight
Way off to the side
It won't come at me on a cold dark night
The red ridges I can't hide
They're on the outside
[Verse 3]
I don't know what to say to you
I'm pretty sure you wouldn't want me to
Despite conviction, I still lack proof
As the rain beats down on the motel roof
[Verse 4]
And I miss those long hot summer days
When I can keep that beast at bay
Long shadows bring it back to life
'Til it sees its reflection in a short sharp knife
