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
