lyrics

I laid myself bare for you in a way I never done before
I told you all my stories, stories galore
I told you about my dad and how he beat me to a pulp
Then he’d take a swig of whiskey with one big gulp
I told you about my mom who was so frickin’ ice cream cold
Yeah she froze me out in that frosty household
I told you about my sisters
A real pair of narcissistic birds
I bet they thought they loved me
But they never spoke the words

Does this amuse you
Am I just a culture in your Petri dish
Does this amuse you
If I do then I guess you get your wish

I laid myself bare for you in a way I never thought I could
I filled in all the characters from my old neighborhood
I told you about Billy and how he tried to molest me in his pool
And I didn’t try to stop him which only added to the fuel
I told you about Marla and how she perished in a plane crash
Never quite got over that one
I was always suffering succotash
I told you about Mister Darling and how he cracked up his car
Turns out it was deliberate, his way of saying au revoir

Do you think I'm funny, do you think I'm sad
Do you think I'm happy, do you think I'm mad
I think I'm mad

I laid myself bare for you in a way
I never could have dreamed
I made it super loud and clear I am pretty unredeemed
I told you about my feelings
Feelings so deep they’ve blown me open wide
I told you that I love you even though I know it’s cockeyed
I told you I can’t live without you
Even though I know you don’t feel the same
I told you I would die for you and you would not be to blame
