[00:09.92] When I picture my hometown

[00:13.44] There's a bronze, spray-tanned statue of you

[00:19.87] And a plaque underneath it

[00:23.40] That threatens to push me down the stairs at our school

[00:28.53] And it was always the same searing pain

[00:36.03] But I dreamed that one day I could say

[00:39.04] All that time you were throwin' punches, I was buildin' somethin'

[00:46.02] And I can't forgive the way you made me feel

[00:49.39] Screamed, "Fuck you, Aimee" to the night sky as the blood was gushin'

[00:56.09] But I can't forget the way you made me heal

[01:09.63] And it wasn't a fair fight

[01:13.40] Or a clean kill each time that Aimee stompеd across my grave

[01:19.83] And then she wrotе headlines

[01:23.35] In the local paper, laughing at each baby step I'd take

[01:28.40] And it was always the same searing pain

[01:35.92] But I prayed that one day I could say

[01:39.10] All that time you were throwin' punches, I was buildin' somethin'

[01:46.01] And I couldn't wait to show you it was real

[01:49.79] Screamed, "Fuck you, Aimee" to the night sky as the blood was gushin'

[01:55.45] But I can't forget the way you made me heal

[01:59.78] Everyone knows that my mother is a saintly woman

[02:05.94] But she used to say she wished that you were dead

[02:09.39] I pushed each boulder up the hill

[02:12.05] Your words are still just ringing in my head, ringing in my head

[02:18.49] I wrote a thousand songs that you find uncool

[02:23.35] I built a legacy that you can't undo

[02:28.47] But when I count the scars, there's a moment of truth

[02:33.31] That there wouldn't be this if there hadn't been you

[02:49.78] And maybe you've reframed it

[02:53.56] And in your mind, you never beat my spirit black and blue

[02:59.74] I don't think you've changed much

[03:03.54] And so I changed your name and any real defining clues

[03:08.39] And one day, your kid comes home singin'

[03:13.49] A song that only us two is gonna know is about you, 'cause

[03:19.13] All that time you were throwin' punches, it was all for nothin'

[03:25.86] And our town, it looks so small from way up here

[03:29.58] Screamed, "Thank you, Aimee" to the night sky and the stars are stunnin'

[03:36.03] 'Cause I can't forget the way you made me heal

[03:39.22] Everyone knows that my mother is a saintly woman

[03:45.94] But she used to say she wished that you were dead

[03:49.48] So I pushed each boulder up that hill

[03:52.21] Your words were still just ringin' in my head, ringin' in my head

[04:00.80] Thank you, Aimee

[04:04.86] Thank you, Aimee
