The Hands That Shape You
"I work so hard to make you who you are
The hands that shape you hung the stars
How I wish you could see who you are to me
And all that you could be"
I've become my own best friend
It shouldn't hurt when I'm on my own
So I write out all my memories
Make sure that someone thinks they're real
But it's only real to me
Who else would it be
No one needs to see
The way I do
It isn't bread
It isn't wine
It isn't worth the silly cry
And maybe when I'm slain
By truth I'm looking for
The blood will pool around my spine
And I'll be grateful I survived
But they won't answer when they disagree
The sky is hanging by a thread
I know you wish so much for me
But I politely disagree
And as your eyes get tender soft and sweet
Well I think you'll make me cry
The hands that shape you hung the stars
How I wish you could see who you are to me
And all that you could be"
I've become my own best friend
It shouldn't hurt when I'm on my own
So I write out all my memories
Make sure that someone thinks they're real
But it's only real to me
Who else would it be
No one needs to see
The way I do
It isn't bread
It isn't wine
It isn't worth the silly cry
And maybe when I'm slain
By truth I'm looking for
The blood will pool around my spine
And I'll be grateful I survived
But they won't answer when they disagree
The sky is hanging by a thread
I know you wish so much for me
But I politely disagree
And as your eyes get tender soft and sweet
Well I think you'll make me cry
