Gave You Everything - The Interrupters

I remember sitting by the window Wishing on every passing car Like they were shooting stars And it felt like years I'd be waiting there You'd call and say you're running late How about another day? What really matters to men I've made my peace with it I hope you can 'Cause we're gonna have a baby soon And I know I'll know what to do So I guess in a crazy way, I wanna thank you Yes I do For showing me what it is, everything I have to give Well I know what she wants, what she needs It's everything you never gave to me So strong, the one you can rely on The smell of aftershave and you know it's all gonna be okay Cheering on proud even when you don't win Saying "Forget about the rest, you've just gotta do your best" While I watched other men do their's That's how I know And when I have my baby soon I know I'll know what to do I guess in a crazy way, I wanna thank you Yes I do For showing me what it is, everything I have to give Well I know what she wants, what she needs It's everything you never gave to me You've made your choices, you've gotta live with your mistakes I sweat they're the ones I'll never make She'll never be waiting by the window No, I won't be the first man to break her heart No And when I have my baby soon I know I'll know what to do I guess in a crazy way, I wanna thank you Yes I do For showing me what it is, everything I have to give Well I know what she wants, what she needs It's everything you never gave to me Everything you never gave to me Mmhmm

I hear the sound echo off the concrete The same song is playing on repeat Haven't taken a breath in hours it seems My skin turns blue, my ears ringing The trauma skips like an old CD That's all scratched up from my OCD Echoes on like a jailbird Echoes on like a jailbird Year after year I hear the screaming in my ears and it Echoes on like a jailbird Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh Strung out adrenaline junkie My heart pounds, but I look like a zombie There's wires crossed inside my brain And broken tracks lead to runaway trains I bite my nails until they bleed Pullin' out my hair from the root like a weed Echoes on like a jailbird Echoes on like a jailbird Year after year I hear the screaming in my ears and it Echoes on like a jailbird Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh Echoes on like a jailbird Echoes on like a jailbird Year after year I hear the screaming in my ears and it Echoes on like a jailbird Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh

My bones are the bars of a jail And I've never felt completely female I sleep when the sun starts to rise So, I spend the night drying my eyes And I watch all the humans, they move place to place And hide in plain sight with that look on their face Do they feel the same or is it just me? Wish I could fly into that beautiful beam And I don't fit in, I'm struggling I'm trying to be one of them But I'm an alien around here And I don't fit in, I'm struggling I'm trying to be one of them But I'm an alien around here I'm an alien around here My soul's crawling out of my skin Yeah, this gravity's wearing me thin I'd probably breathe better on Mars Floating up there above the stars And I watch all the humans, they move place to place And hide in plain sight with that look in their face Do they feel the pain or is it just me? Wish I could fly into that beautiful beam And I don't fit in, I'm struggling I'm trying to be one of them But I'm an alien around here And I don't fit in, I'm struggling I'm trying to be one of them But I'm an alien around here I'm an alien around here They look at me like I'm from light-years away They look at me like I'm from light-years away And I don't fit in, I'm struggling Now I am not trying to be one of them I'm an alien around here
