I'm having the hardest time
Pretending I'm not having the hardest time
Of my life
Mama didn't love me like I thought she might
And it turns out my father isn't always right
Still I love them all the same
It just sometimes feels like pain
And I don't sleep these days
Ooh ooh I, I
Bet, begged, and borrowed my whole life
To get right
Ooh ooh, why?
When I get what I wanted, it still don't feel like
I thought it might
Pulling thorns from my sides
Ooh, ooh I, I
Bet, begged, and borrowed my whole life
Just trying to get right
I sever the ties that bind
Feeling my way through the dark
With my hands on my eyes
Suffering by design
It's always so lonely on the bottom line
Well, I can't see past the mirror
It's clear to me
I trip up on a feeling, or they trip on me
I'm terrified that it might be true:
I got a head like a bruise
Ooh ooh I, I
Bet, begged, and borrowed my whole life
To get right
Ooh ooh, why?
When I get what I wanted, it still don't feel like
I thought it might
Pulling thorns from my sides
Ooh, ooh I, I
Bet, begged, and borrowed my whole life
Just trying to get right
(I was just trying to get right)
Ooh ooh I, I
Bet, begged, and borrowed my whole life
To get right
Ooh ooh, why?
When I get what I wanted, it still don't feel like
I thought it might
Pulling thorns from my sides
Ooh, ooh I, I
Bet, begged, and borrowed my whole life
Just trying to get right
