Wounds Between Us

(mmmmm-mmm) You said I was always too loud for this house

So I learned how to keep it all in my mouth

Walking on glass, hoping it wouldn't break

Counting the heavy demands that you make

And I tried, oh I tried

to be what you wanted But the halls of my childhood are

starting to feel haunted

Why is your love

like a debt I must pay?

Why do your words chase my spirit away?

I am

your child, not a stone you can mold

Left in the shadow,

left out in the cold (ooh-ooh)

I looked in the mirror and saw your own eyes Behind all

the anger, behind the disguise

But I cannot carry the weight

of your past

I need a connection that's built to last

I'm letting go

of the guilt you left here

(letting go) Finding my voice through the hurt and the fear (ahhhh)
