Tallman - Cope lyrics

rate me

hold me underneath the water

rinse me till I'm clean

stretch my skin and scratch the surface

I promise I won't bleed

I never wanted to be born into this

every time I hear your voice it makes me sick

beaten by an open hand, I raise a fist

I got to find a way to cope with all of this

shut the door and lock me out

I'll throw away your key

on my own out in the cold

there's no one left but me

I never wanted to be born into this

every time I hear your voice it makes me sick

beaten by an open hand, I raise a fist

I got to find a way to cope with all of this

I try not to cry

this is not just temporary

fear and denial remain

I'm now just twice as aware

of the abuse and the pain

this is not what I want to be

but you expected more from me

this is not what I want to be

I tried not to cry

I never wanted to be born into this

every time I hear your voice it makes me sick

beaten by an open hand, I raise a fist

I got to find a way to cope with all of this
