Rub Some Dirt On It

The games that he played on my mind were relentless
All that's left in my chest, a beating callus
He twisted my words, lies seemed true
I didn't know what else I could do, but

Rub some dirt on my wound, I'm fine
I will be alright, though he's no longer mine
Because tougher skin comes after I damage it
That's what my father said so I'll rub some dirt on it

I thought I could trust him to jump on three
When I closed my eyes he abandoned me
My knees hit the ground as he left town
So I'll do the best I can do by myself, I'll

Rub some dirt on my wound, I'm fine
I will be alright, though he's no longer mine
Because tougher skin comes after I damage it
That's what my father said so I'll rub some dirt on it

Like a child I was vulnerable
Dependent and true, helpless, confused
What he did is intolerable
I'll bury him like I bury my wounds

I'll throw some dirt on his grave at night
And I will be alright, though he's no longer mine
Because tougher skin comes after I damage it
That's what my father said so I'll rub some dirt on it
