lyrics

I used to watch you shoot a bullet straight into a tree
Run your hands along the trunk but never touch the leaves
Used to cover me in aphids, lay me in a beam of light and say
“I have to leave you here, my girl, I’ll pick you up tonight”
You used to call me princess like I never was a kid
You used to cover me in aphids
And I wish you still did

And I always tried to tell you
But I never got around to it
He hit me and it felt like
He hit me and it felt like shit

I helped you buy a bicycle and fit it in the car
You rode it only once to work cause work is way too far
Used to take me to your parties, point to where I stood and say
“She’s an artist too, you know, she’s actually quite good!”
Well I’m sick of all these sheep, you know I thought you were a wolf
If I wanted you to love me
I would do it for myself

And I always tried to tell you
But I never got around to it
He hit me and it felt like
He hit me and it felt like shit

That man might kill me
That man might kill me
That man might

And I always tried to tell you
But I never got around to it
He hit me and it felt like
He hit me and it felt like shit
And I always tried to tell you
But I never got around to it
He hit me and it felt like
He covered me in Aphids
He hit me and it felt like shit
He hit me and it felt like shit
He hit me and it felt like
