Agonizing over every word I want to say Controlled by fears and consequences of feelings I betray Flinch because I wonder when Elbowed in the head again Minding my own business on the couch And I'm ashamed that all I ever have to say is ouch Forgetful, regretful, I'm feeling your head full of doubts "why do you like me?" But I like to complain my low threshold for pain doesn't help Darling get off my knee Flinch because I wonder when Poked me in the eye again
Minding my own business on the couch And I'm ashamed that all I ever have to say is ouch Well it doesn't bother me quite as much as you think I'm just extra sensitive after my second drink And there's nothing I can do because I'm constantly annoyed These heavy conversations, abrasions I avoid Flinch because I wonder when Kicked me in the shin again Minding my own business on the couch And I'm ashamed that all I ever have to say is ouch
