Lock up your car when you park at the pawnshop
Unless you’ve got change to spare
Someone who really needs it Might be digging around in there
It’s hard to forget where you came from
When you’re stuck here everyday
I don’t think that i’m depressed What do i know anyways
Maybe it’s just the weather
Maybe i just need some rest
But I fight like a kid, like a toddler Who’s not ready to go to bed
My best friend in school was a girl
Her family just moved to this town
She was smart and unique and so beautiful She never spent one night alone
Dirty little house out on the westside
Where the teachers and coaches would go
She wouldn’t tell me what happened in there But i think i know
Maybe she liked the attention
Maybe she liked the control
I never told her that she was my hero Cause she fought and got out on her own
I scrolled past your picture on facebook
I saw that you got divorced
Part of me felt really sorry for you Part of me said well of course
I can’t imagine how hard that must be
Nobody thought it would work
You gave it your best, though, one hundred percent But that car was just stuck in reverse
Maybe now you can be happy
Maybe everything will be fine
You fought like a fish to get off of that hook, you ended up breaking the line
Maybe the weight will just fall off your shoulders
Maybe your hammer will smash it to bits
Maybe you’ll rip out each hair from your head
And then fall down shaking in one of your fits
Maybe you’ll grind your teeth till they’re flat
Maybe you’ll bite through your lips
Maybe you will have some peace when they die
You can relax and unclench your fists
But for now you just fight
