Skinned Knees

from On a Receipt by Nel Gatlin

/

lyrics

I've been talking about myself / I can't talk about much else
And it feels good, your love / Leaves me, wanting more
I'm dreaming of moving somewhere else

We're all talking about the time / That night I lost my mind
Drinking, too fast / I broke my favorite shot glass
Please stop telling lies / That night I got too high,
And wanted to end my own life
Will I ever learn?
Don't worry about me.

It's time to put the book back on the shelf
It's about time I ask for help
You've got your family / I've got skinned knees
It's time I left and didn't come home
But you know I won't

It's time I saw someone else
I'm sick of writing about myself
Feeling so cold / All the warmth Miami stole
There's someone who thinks I'm great / I drowned her in Montego Bay
The last thing I deserve is someone new
Feeling alone is sacred and all I know
Starving for comfort never ends,
Though I'm in love with all my friends / I'm in love with all my friends
Please help me to breath
Or leave me here to drown

You were everything to me
