i ve been soother and i ve been wife tried to solve your life stuck with you through your rainy days thought that it was just a phase when the sun came out i tried to get away and fly but the needs we had did not subside what a way for our love to die i ve been hiding behind my gifts i give until it starts to rip the skin is torn where i begin the thread is worn and might give in underneath it all i feel the eyes of all the things that i despise can i fight them off with sticks and stones can i fight them off alone soothe yourself now i m thinking about my own advice if i could soothe myself it might be nice callin names ain t the same no more took a look and locked that door memories and cold hard facts watched it all come rushing back all the times i told you what to do all the times i thought i knew soothe yourself soothe yourself
