RACHELLE FERRELL - Wounds In The Way lyrics

rate me

She gives her body freely

cause she can't give herself completely

There are wounds in the way

She cannot bear to be naked to the world

so instead she just fakes it with a man

There are wounds in the way

If they would have treated a little girl

and a little boy when basically still just a baby

With some respect and human dignity

Maybe there wouldn't be so many failed relationships

We might even had a ghost of a chance

of just loving each other - body, mind, and soul

He gives his money freely

cause he can't give himself completely

There are wounds in the way.

He cannot bear to be honest with himself

so what the hell, he'll lie to a woman

There are wounds in the way

If they would have treated a little boy

and a little girl when basically still just a baby

With some respect and human dignity

Maybe there wouldn't be so many failed relationships

We might even had a ghost of a chance

of just loving each other - body, mind, and soul

As time passes by they begin to multiply

There are wounds in the way

Adding up secretly like the rings of an old oak tree

There are wounds in the way

Some old and some new,

all stifling, debilitating and cruel

There are wounds in the way

And some are passed down from elder to youth

they don't even belong to you

There are wounds in the way

As time passes through,

they begin to accrue a strange sort of value

Some that you think are worth holding onto

Cause you don't want to change who you are - no you don't

He loves her strong and true,

but when he gets angry it gets misconstrued into violence

There are wounds...

And she loves him equally

But when she feels misunderstood

instead of sharing openly and honestly

She is wounded.

There are wounds in the way (Repeat)
