THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT : THE ANTHOLOGY

공유하기
When I picture my hometown
There's a bronze
spray-tanned statue of you
And a plaque underneath it
That threatens to push me down
the stairs at our school

And it was always the same searing pain
But I dreamed that one day I could say

All that time you were throwin' punches
I was buildin' somethin'
And I can't forgive the way
you made me feel
Screamed
"Fuck you, Aimee" to the night sky
as the blood was gushin'
But I can't forget the way you made me heal

And it wasn't a fair fight
Or a clean kill each time
that Aimee stompеd across my grave
And then she wrotе headlines
In the local paper
laughing at each baby step I'd take

And it was always the same searing pain
But I prayed that one day I could say

All that time you were throwin' punches
I was buildin' somethin'
And I couldn't wait to show you it was real
Screamed
"Fuck you, Aimee" to the night sky
as the blood was gushin'
But I can't forget the way
you made me heal
Everyone knows
that my mother is a saintly woman
But she used to say
she wished that you were dead
I pushed each boulder up the hill
Your words are still just ringing in my head
ringing in my head

I wrote a thousand songs
that you find uncool
I built a legacy that you can't undo
But when I count the scars
there's a moment of truth
That there wouldn't be this
if there hadn't been you

And maybe you've reframed it
And in your mind
you never beat my spirit black and blue
I don't think you've changed much
And so I changed your name
and any real defining clues
And one day, your kid comes home singin'
A song that only us two
is gonna know is about you, 'cause

All that time you were throwin' punches
it was all for nothin'
And our town
it looks so small from way up here
Screamed
"Thank you, Aimee" to the night sky
and the stars are stunnin'
'Cause I can't forget the way
you made me heal
Everyone knows
that my mother is a saintly woman
But she used to say
she wished that you were dead
So I pushed each boulder up that hill
Your words were still just ringin' in my head
ringin' in my head

Thank you, Aimee
Thank you, Aimee
