Bent Pine Bench

Lời bài hát

[Verse 1] Mama cried through the walls Daddy left holes in the door I learned how to shrink myself Just to make room for more Counted every slammed hard step Like hail on a tin roof line Had a heart that stayed awake Even when the whole house lied [Pre-Chorus] Now I sit in this hard chair Tell the truth out loud Five old wounds, still kicking But I’m standing in the now [Chorus] Five old wounds, still kicking But I’m here, I’m here Five old wounds, still kicking I can face that fear (hold on) I’m not the hurt they gave me I’m more than what they knew Five old wounds, still kicking Still reaching for the blue [Verse 2] Skipped stones on the creekbed With a pocket full of shame Carried every “don’t you” Like it was my middle name Doctors wrote my history In a file on a metal shelf But they never saw the little boy Trying to raise himself [Pre-Chorus] Now I sit in this hard chair Tell the truth out loud Five old wounds, still kicking But I’m standing in the now [Chorus] Five old wounds, still kicking But I’m here, I’m here Five old wounds, still kicking I can face that fear (hold on) I’m not the hurt they gave me I’m more than what they knew Five old wounds, still kicking Still reaching for the blue [Bridge] If the night gets heavy And my hands start to shake I remember I survived Every hard thing they could make No more hiding in the rafters No more biting down on pain I can name what broke me And I can learn to heal again [Chorus] Five old wounds, still kicking But I’m here, I’m here Five old wounds, still kicking I can face that fear (hold on) I’m not the hurt they gave me I’m more than what they knew Five old wounds, still kicking Still reaching for the blue
