about

I know I JUST mentioned this wasn't a breakup album, but hear me out. I mention two stories here over the course of my adolescence and the advice and presence given to me from my parents. It's the heaviest for me to sing on this album, and the most likely moment for my voice to break when I perform it live - that last line. Why am I so easy to hurt? What makes it so easy to be cruel to me? For whatever reason I still approach every new relationship with an open heart, no matter how many times its' been broken, and I'm still not handled with care. Ug. Definitely a self pitying moment, but also an ode to softness. You can hurt me all ya want, my heart will stay open and I wouldn't change a thing.

lyrics

I came home covered in my blood at sixteen
The person that I thought I knew had darkness I could not see through
He hurt me
Mama told me
“Love is not a broken lip,
love is not all swinging fists
Can’t watch him do what happened to me.
You’re too sweet”
I said I love you mama,
But he doesn’t mean it
He said it but I don’t think that he means it
Trying to convince myself to feel it
Mom, he doesn’t mean it

Called dad from the bedroom floor
Don’t wanna do this anymore
I’m choking
Five years of every part of me
He’s over it in half a week,
I’m broken
Well daddy told me
“Sometimes love is not enough
and sometimes we can love too much
If he wants to, you should let him leave
Set him free”
I said he might still love me
Dad says he doesn’t mean it
He said it but I don’t think that he means it
It’ll only hurt you trying to believe it”
Dad says he doesn’t mean it

Take it from a lonely artist
Write songs for the broken hearted
Why am I so easy to hurt?
I never learn
