"Baby Teeth" lyrics

"Baby Teeth"

I only know one half of me
Cause all I got was half of you
But I came of age in every way
I felt the pressure to

I can live with broken bones
From stones that I refuse to throw
Maybe I've got better reasons than
My bible tells me so, to let it go

Please don't let me leave here
With this heartache left unmapped
There's not soul I won't disown
For all my friends and family back
But you know that you know
And it feels like God himself don't care to remember
That a star just fell to earth somewhere in America

I still push my feelings down
Like playground tyrants taught me to
Were you only proud of me
When I could be as numb as you?
Even when unmended fences
Fade to graves the way they do
I'll be wishing every sour note I ever played
Was beautiful to you

Please don't let me leave here
With this heartache left unmapped
There's not soul I won't disown
For all my friends and family back
But you know that you know
And it feels like God himself don't care to remember
That a star just fell to earth somewhere in America

I turned the other cheek till
You broke my baby teeth and I
Still taste the blood I swallowed
To walk this crooked high road
I turned the other cheek like Jesus
Till my baby teeth were gone

Please don't let me leave here
With this heartache left unmapped
There's not soul I won't disown
For all my friends and family back
But you know that you know
And it feels like God himself don't care to remember
That a star just fell to earth somewhere in America
