You Songtext
von Everclear

All the scars on my body and soul
All the trouble I have known
All the evil things I′ll say and do
All comes back to

A little boy, back when life was new to me
Hiding in my room, waiting for my mom to leave
I learned to lie to save her from the truth
I was raped when I was eight years old on a sunny afternoon
I fall back to the black and white of here and now
I need to calm down, I think I need to calm down
I'm on my old street, a past that is so hard for me
Looking for a place that I really do not ever wanna see

All the scars on my body and soul
All the trouble I have known
All the evil things I′ll say and do
It all brings me closer to you


The house is empty as I walk inside
I don't wanna be here, I wanna stay in denial
I see my demons smiling in the gloom
I have to face this thing or I will never leave this room
I see me playing with the older boys
In a house where my mama told me not to go
They started hurting me and laughing as they held me down
They broke me as I screamed inside the violence and the awful sound

All the scars on my body and soul
All the trouble I have ever known
All the fucked up things I say and do
All bring me closer to you, to you
I am screaming at the mirror, looking in the eyes of you, yeah, you
I give my joy and my shame, all the credit and the blame to you

Now I know why I'm addicted to pain
Yeah, I know I am addicted to everything
Now I know what I have to do
I have to kill the monsters for you, for you
I will forgive those damaged boys
That did this awful thing to you, to you
I have to fix this broken heart
I need to be just like a father to you, to you
I have to fix this broken heart
I will always be a safe place for you, for you
I will always be your champion
I will always kill the monsters for you, for you
I give my joy and my shame, all the credit and the blame to you


Twisted, broken, angry, and free
I am twisted, broken, angry, and free
Twisted, broken, angry, and free
