when I was young
they asked me
where I hurt myself
they cleaned the small tears,
they kissed my face
they thought that i was ok
when I became older
the nights were shorter,
it didn't matter to me where the pain was
(chorus)
and I only listen to
intoxicating lullabies
to put me to sleep at night x2
health came to me
but my mind is not clean
of the enduring anguish
I'm harassed still
it's a difficult thing to talk about(?)*
if it is not broken
I'm learning every day
but I become older
the nights are shorter,
struggling to live with the pain (**)
(chorus)
and I only listen to
intoxicating lullabies
to put me to sleep at night x2
your words and your insults hurt me
in my heart (***)
they cut, they will always cut
Help me, God's grace
Help me, God's grace
I'm praying, talk to me,
Help me, God's grace
(chorus)
and I only listen to
intoxicating lullabies
to put me to sleep at night
your words and your insults hurt me
in my heart
they cut, they will always cut
your words and your insults hurt me
in my heart
they cut, they will always cut (***)
