Sometimes I cry when I do the dishes

I′m ambitious but you are malicious

You suck the life out of meWhy couldn't you just let it be

You called me a psychopath

You created the aftermath

You held a gun to my head

And watched as I bled and I bled and I bled

Does it all define me

These ghosts that guide me

The trauma that keeps me company

So I can come up with melodies

I have absolutely no conflict resolution skills

When I think about you I get chills

All the way down my spine

I get flashbacks

God I′m so not fine

You yelled

You gave me hell

I walked on eggshells

Little do you know

How much I dwell

On everything that happened those nights

Those sleepless nights and endless fights

They say your childhood defines you

I used to think

I'd never make it through

Does it all define me

These ghosts that guide me

The trauma that keeps me company

So I can come up with melodies

The memories may follow you around

But one day they'll teach you things profound

Here I am writing this to you

Whoever you are I promise you′ll make it through

Does it all define me

These ghosts that guide me

The trauma that keeps me company

So I can come up with melodies
