Why I Have My Grandma's Sad Eyes
it started like this
i was here right, standing leaning back
my deer in the headlights
look never fails but hearing all the things that you said
cut me to the core
blew me away
like i got hit with a gunshot
like a bomb dropped stabbed with a white hot knife
in the heart while all these people still aske me
why i have my grandma's sad eyes
now you know why
cos this time i didn't see it coming
couldn't stop the runing words out your mouth
they're leaving me crushed sound louder than bombs
hit harder than mack trucks on highways
knock me down now like the chump with the black eye
hit with the uppercut
it tastes like blood
and a case of ice cold pure devastation
i may never stand up again
i will never go out again, again
oh fuck if this is the end
then i just want revenge
i just want to take you down with me
i've been so mad and furious
love must be just for idiots
im shutting down, breaking down
getting out of this shit hole ghost town
cos all these people still ask me
why i have my grandma's sad eyes
i must have my grandma's sad eyes
why i have my grandma's sad eyes
time past
just like a gasp from some tiny cell inside that wont die
sending out a quit ping
like a submarine
a lost transmission
from a distant galaxy
so reach way down
in the dark to the bottom
of my rotten heart
to a place deep in my black lung
for the song i haven't sung
since i was a little brat from connecticut
when i felt so alone
against the world
picked always last
it saved me
then i will save me now, save me now
will it save me now?
it goes "universe, wrap your arms around me. make me strong so i can take on anyone"
"universe, wrap your arms around me. make me strong so i can take on anyone"
i must have my grandma's sad eyes
i must have my grandma's sad eyes
now you know why, now you know why, now you know why, now you know why
now you know
i was here right, standing leaning back
my deer in the headlights
look never fails but hearing all the things that you said
cut me to the core
blew me away
like i got hit with a gunshot
like a bomb dropped stabbed with a white hot knife
in the heart while all these people still aske me
why i have my grandma's sad eyes
now you know why
cos this time i didn't see it coming
couldn't stop the runing words out your mouth

now you know why, now you know why, now you know why, now you know why
now you know
