2. I Would Songtext
von Peri Rae

When you were holding me last night
I wrote a song about how good it gets
Swore that I′d remember
But in the light of day
I've forgotten it

I′m too good at second verses
That I don't know how to start
So I try cutting my chest open
And handing you my heart

I'm sorry I′m such a mess
You don′t know what's in my head

I scream for the men that came before
And I take out on you the damage that they caused
I couldn′t take any more
But you
You might be good
If I could stay out my own way long enough not to fuck this up
I would


I'd throw myself on to the tracks
Just to prove that you don′t care
But you hold my face
You stroke my back
Now you're tying up my hair

You say you′ll stay forever
Your words like cream for scars
I cry into your neck and pray
I won't push you too far

I'm sorry I′m such a mess
You don′t know whats in my head

I scream for the men that came before
And I take out on you the damage that they caused
I couldn't take any more
But you
You might be good
If I could stay out my own way long enough not to fuck this up
I would


I know you want me to leave
It′s four on a Tuesday
We both need sleep
But
Baby please
It's not about you
It′s what they did to me

And that's why
I scream
I scream
I scream

I scream for the men that came before
And I take out on you the damage that they caused
I couldn′t take any more
But you
You might be good
If I could stay out my own way long enough not to fuck this up
I would
