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 tried

To 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 begin

The thread is worn and might give in

Underneath it all I feel the eyes

Of all the things that I despise

Can I fight them off with sticks and stones?

Can I fight them off alone?

Soothe yourself x3

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 knew

Soothe yourself x4

Soothe yourself x3
