Can't Hurt Me

I used to believe when I was young

That I could be more than what I was

Then it came, it punctured me

Cut me down and clipped my wings

My roots are here, this house decays

Your anger echoes through my veins

Saying I'm less than I should be

Your house just rots, soon I'll break free

You can't hurt me, I'm stronger now

Channeled the pain that time allowed

Stab it again, it won't break through

The scars have faded, surpassing you

My best friend across the street

Just moved to another state

The childhood we shared now bittersweet

This radiant town is fading out

Why does everyone leave?

Memories whisper but never speak

The dreams I had now feel so weak

Like distant stars out of reach

You can't hurt me, I'm stronger now

Channeled the pain that time allowed

Stab it again, it won't break through

The scars have faded, surpassing you

Is this love or a fleeting rush?

You felt my warmth but you're the wind

Stay away, a spark will catch

Too wild to hold, it'll burn too fast

She took me to the waterbed

Just to burn a hole in my head

Like the others it left me cold

Watching as my fire's growing old

You can't hurt me, I'm stronger now

Channeled the pain that time allowed

Stab it again, it won't break through

The scars have faded, surpassing you

You're just a scar that used to bleed

Now the pain is gone and I am free

You can't hurt me anymore

It's bled so much that I'm torn

So go ahead and stab it again

Does not hurt me anymore

It's just a scar that used to bleed

Now the pain is gone and I am free

Let's bleed it out so you feel free

Let's drown in what we could be

We'd run through yards and climb some trees

Let's celebrate the growth of you and me
