You the centre and the colour of my eyes You taught me how to see everything between Knife filled eyes My favourite and my best Well there is no contest The worst you ever did I want to bless I've been so lost since the skin upon my soul Was fierce and bold You knew the truth but God forbid any of your friends Are ever told Don't say that we're the same You know the stars can lie You've been a joyful blame for all my life Well what's that got to do with anything? You don't know me like you should and Nothing's ever good enough for you Well I can scratch until I'm smooth until my hands are Blistering and bruised And I see you You've been an inspiration and an awful pain You'll always be afraid of your own name I beg you not to tell, as if you ever would Now don't forget to be what I never could
