Walker Told Me

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Walker told me I had AIDS In the back of a crowded room My hands went cold on the table My mouth went dry, I couldn’t move [Pre-Chorus] You said it quiet, like a joke But I heard every word The whole place spun around me And nothing else got heard [Chorus] Walker told me I had AIDS Walker told me I had AIDS Say it again, say it straight I’m still here, I’m still awake [Verse 2] I walked out into the hard rain With your laugh stuck in my head Took the long way past the storefronts Kept counting every breath I had [Pre-Chorus] You said it quiet, like a joke But I heard every word The whole place spun around me And nothing else got heard [Chorus] Walker told me I had AIDS Walker told me I had AIDS Say it again, say it straight I’m still here, I’m still awake [Bridge] If you wanted me broken You should’ve watched me fade I learned how to carry thunder I learned how to say my name [Final Chorus] Walker told me I had AIDS Walker told me I had AIDS Say it again, say it straight I’m still here, I’m still awake Walker told me I had AIDS Walker told me I had AIDS Not a curse, not a cage I’m still here, I’m still awake
