Soothe Yourself

I've been soother and

I've been wife

Tried to solve your life

Stuck with you through your rainy days

Thought that it was just a phase

When the sun came out

I triedTo get away and fly

But the needs we had did not subside

What a way for our love to die

I've been hiding behind my gifts

I give until it starts to rip

The skin is torn where

I beginThe thread is worn and might give in

Underneath it all

I feel the eyes

Of all the things that

I despiseCan

I fight them off with sticks and stones?

Can I fight them off alone?

Soothe yourself, soothe yourself, soothe yourself

Now I'm thinking about my own advice

If I could soothe myself it might be nice

Callin' names ain't the same no more

Took a look and locked that door

Memories and cold hard facts

Watched it all come rushing back

All the times

I told you what to do

All the times

I thought

I knewSoothe yourself, soothe yourself, soothe yourself

Soothe yourself

Soothe yourself, soothe yourself, soothe yourself

Yourself
