Baby Teeth Songtext
von eleventyseven

I only know one half of me
Cause all I got was half of you
But I came of age in every way I felt the pressure to

I can live with broken bones from stones that I refuse to throw
Maybe I′ve got better reasons than my bible tells me so, to let it go

Please don't let me leave here with this heartache left unmapped
There′s no soul I won't disown for all my friends and family back
But you know that you know
And it feels like God himself don't care to remember
That a star just fell to earth somewhere in America

I still push my feelings down like playground tyrants taught me to
Were you only proud of me when I could be as numb as you?
Even when unmended fences fade to graves the way they do
I′ll be wishing every sour note I ever played was beautiful to you


Don′t let me leave here with this heartache left unmapped
There's no soul I won′t disown for all my friends and family back
But you know that you know
And it feels like God himself don't care to remember
That a star just fell to earth somewhere in America

I turned the other cheek till
You broke my baby teeth and I
Still taste the blood I swallowed
To walk this crooked high road
I turned the other cheek like Jesus till my baby teeth were gone

Please don′t let me leave here with this heartache left unmapped
There's no soul I won′t disown for all my friends and family back
But you know that you know
And it feels like God himself don't care to remember
That a star just fell to earth somewhere in America
