y2mate.com - thanK you aIMee

[00:10.99] When I picture my hometown

[00:14.45] There's a bronze, spray-tanned statue of you

[00:20.82] And a plaque underneath it

[00:24.54] That threatens to push me down the stairs at our school

[00:29.32] And it was always the same searing pain

[00:37.03] But I dreamed that one day I could say

[00:40.48] All that time you were throwing punches

[00:42.86] I was building something

[00:47.12] And I can't forgive the way you made me feel

[00:50.31] Screamed, '**** you aIMee' to the night sky

[00:52.95] As the blood was gushing

[00:56.94] But I can't forget the way you made me heal

[01:10.76] And it wasn't a fair fight

[01:14.48] Or a clean Kill

[01:16.06] Each time that aIMee stomped across my grave

[01:20.85] And then she wrote headlines

[01:24.57] In the local paper laughing at each baby step I'd take

[01:28.82] And it was always the same searing pain

[01:37.06] But I prayed that one day I could say

[01:40.24] All that time you were throwing punches

[01:42.90] I was building something

[01:47.15] And I couldn't wait to show you it was real

[01:50.06] Screamed '**** you aIMee' to the night sky

[01:52.72] As the blood was gushing

[01:56.98] But I can't forget the way you made me heal

[02:00.43] Everyone knows that my mother is a saintly woman

[02:06.94] But she used to say she wished that you were dead

[02:10.12] I pushed each boulder up the hill

[02:12.51] Your words are still just ringing in my head, ringing in my head

[02:19.69] I wrote a thousand songs that you find uncool

[02:24.20] I built a legacy that you can't undo

[02:29.52] But when I count the scars

[02:31.64] There's a moment of truth

[02:34.02] That there wouldn't be this

[02:36.69] If there hadn't been you

[02:51.03] And maybe you've reframed it

[02:54.48] And in your mind you never beat my spirit black and blue

[03:01.12] I don't think you've changed much

[03:04.85] And so I changed your name and any real defining clues

[03:09.35] And one day

[03:11.22] Your kid comes home singing

[03:14.94] A song that only us two is gonna know is about you

[03:19.45] 'Cause

[03:20.51] All that time you were throwing punches

[03:22.90] It was all for nothing

[03:27.16] And our town it looks so small from way up here

[03:30.07] Screamed, 'thanK you aIMee'' to the night sky

[03:33.00] And the stars are stunning

[03:36.98] 'Cause I can't forget the way you made me heal

[03:40.43] Everyone knows that my mother is a saintly woman

[03:47.08] But she used to say she wished that you were dead

[03:49.99] So I pushed each boulder up that hill

[03:52.65] Your words were still just ringing in my head, ringing in my head

[04:01.65] ThanK you aIMee

[04:06.96] ThanK you aIMee
