[VERSE]
Slow it down
We pass a street and i’m reminded that this is my hometown
The same old faces that I’ve seen,
I feel so small now
I wonder if you’d be proud if you could see and feel
What I do before I sleep?

But if I had a time machine
I’d write you a letter
Sayin’ things aren’t better
There are some things you can’t remember
It gets worse every September
You give in to your ****in’ temper
Been 8 years, was a great pretender
That it didn’t hurt when they defended him

[CHORUS]
I wish I was over it
But my skin feels like a cage
And I’ve bleached it ****in’ raw but
What do I do with all these stains?

How do I miss what I wasn’t handed?
Tell me where hasn’t he touched?
Why do I still lay awake at night begging him to ****in’ stop?

[VERSE]
Touch and leave me there
‘Cause you’ll see how I flinch away from you if you take a moment to really stare

From the inside I lied i said I was doing fine
And I believed it, you did, it worked for a good while
Until it didn’t, the stitches opened, the rug lifted
Who was I kidding? I was a kid then, but I still wanted to be forgiven

If I had a time machine
I’d shake you awake
I’d tell you to hurry up and feel what we have to feel today
Everyone’s gone and moved on, but I still hear him say my name
It’s hard to get up and be strong when I feel 11 on most days

[CHORUS]
And I wish I was over it
But my skin feels like a cage
And I’ve bleached it ****in’ raw but
What do I do with all these stains?

How do I miss what I wasn’t handed?
God, why’d you let him get away?
Why do I still lay awake at night begging him to please just stop already?

[OUTRO]
I feel like I’m 11 (God I’ll believe you if you take him away)
I feel like I’m 11 (God I’ll believe you if you take this away)
I feel like I’m 11 (God I’ll believe you, I wanna believe you)
