Agonizing over every word I want to say

Controlled by fears and consequences of feelings I betray

flinch because I wonder when

elbowed in the head again

minding my own business on the couch

and I'm ashamed that all I ever have to say is ouch



Forgetful, regretful, I'm feeling your head full of doubts

"why do you like me?"

but I like to complain my low threshold for pain doesn't help

darling get off my knee

flinch because I wonder when 

poked me in the eye again 

minding my own business on the couch

and I'm ashamed that all I ever have to say is ouch



Well it doesn't bother me quite as much as you think

I'm just extra sensitive after my second drink

and there's nothing I can do because I'm constantly annoyed

these heavy conversations, abrasions I avoid

flinch because I wonder when

kicked me in the shin again

minding my own business on the couch

and I'm ashamed that all I ever have to say is ouch
